We truly enjoyed coming to this Pillar Point Harbor! We have been coming to this place for many years! This is Absolutely our Happy place! We have built so many memories here. The ocean is definitely Amazing, Peaceful and Beautiful! There are so many boats here that I truly loves. Walking around along this Shore brings warm feelings of Joy to my heart. Just Gorgeous Settings and a Lovely Breath of Fresh Air! I'm always super Excited and Happy everytime we are here. My Sweethearts had launched our boat here and also went out for lots of Crabs! Definitely Amazing!!!😍 I also love that there are many great Restaurants around here as well! Some of my favorite places to eat includes: Miramar Beach Restaurant, Flying Fish Bar and Grill, Half Moon Bay Brewing Company, Barbara’s FishTrap, Harbor Bar, and my favorite Moss Beach Distillery. With many Delicious Seafood Restaurants , the most Amazing Views, and absolutely best Sensational Settings, are definitely some of the reasons why we keep coming back!🧑

Great place if you want the beach to surf, swim, and play. There are trails to bike, hike and walk. Plus good restaurants that are within walk-able distance.

Regardless if weather, I love Princeton. It’s an easy access adventure for the whole family, dogs too. Great place to catch a sunset or enjoy a break from the inland heat. Walk on a beach, rent a kayak, great restaurant options, or buy something fresh off the dock to take home. One of the last places I know of where you can hear a fog horn.

Absolutely love going here.. stop for a bite at ketch of Joannes or Barbs then off to the Mavericks.. Ketch of Joanne's is dog friendly if you eat out side . Clean restrooms by the pier and at the pier you can buy fresh fish right off the boat .

Hui Liu | Sep 1, 2020
Jose Duarte | Sep 1, 2020

Your best bet is to try an app called fishline. In this app you will find which boat's are selling and at what price. Gives you the boat contact info to place a order. Eliminates driving to find out they're sold out.

Yes the boats would be selling if they had it. For various reasons (bad weather, closed/delayed seasons ect...) boats may not have anything to sell. Download the free app "fishline" on your phone. It is easy to use and boats will post on there when and what they have available.

The answer to that question is No ...there is storage company in the area..do not leave any items in your cars.there are sign in the parking lot say exactly that...in other word there have been plenty of break in ..so they are now not responsible for break in..short trips. Pack light..put thing's into the trunk before you get there.. don't leave anything visible
