The South Coast covers the small, unincorporated communities south of Half Moon Bay: Pescadero near the coast, and La Honda and Loma Mar in the redwood-covered Santa Cruz Mountains. It's the most rural part of San Mateo County.

What the South Coast is like

Pescadero is a small farming town a couple of miles inland from Pescadero State Beach, surrounded by farms and ranches. La Honda sits along Highway 84 among the redwoods, and Loma Mar is a tiny community near Pescadero Creek. Homes range from cabins and cottages to ranch properties, often on large, wooded or rolling lots, and sales are few, so every property is different.

Nearby areas

The South Coast sits south of Half Moon Bay and west of Woodside and Portola Valley. Buying rural property here comes with its own questions, like wells, septic and access, and I'm happy to talk them through.
