Family Fun and Adventure at The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay
April 23, 2014
The idyllic property provides a magnificent backdrop for a family vacation along the Northern California coast. Diverse, vibrant surroundings of The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay include world-class beaches where families can enjoy spending the day relaxing on the sand and in the surf or partaking in other ocean activities including surfing, kayaking, paddle boarding and tide pool viewing.
The resort's Ritz Kids program, a partnership with Jean-Michel Cousteau's Ocean Futures Society, offers fascinating experiences that are based on four key pillars including water, land, environmental responsibility and culture. The program includes an array of enriching programs designed where kids can explore and discover the Northern California coast. Additionally, kids collect colored bracelets throughout their stay by participating in various programs and activities around the resort. Upon check out, they receive a prize and earn the designation of VIK (Very Important Kid).
Families can also participate in stunning coastline diversions like a Segway® tour where they can view an assortment of wildlife, native plants and shore birds along the beautiful Half Moon Bay Coastal Trail. Guests can also enjoy the Signature Drive, Half Moon Bay's official mapped scenic automobile route that navigates five distinctly different micro-regions including Historic Main Street, the Pumpkin Region, California's Redwood Forest, the Santa Cruz Mountains and the Pacific Coast. The property's recreation team can arrange a Coastal Tour that takes families to Pigeon Point Light House, the Redwood Forests or Harley Farms.
For the adventurers, Half Moon Bay offers tours and excursions such as whale watching excursion, horseback riding on the beach, bird watching and deep sea fishing. Golfers can experience the enchantment of Northern California's Scottish links on two championship courses that stretch from pines to cliff at The Golf Links. For total relaxation, The Ritz-Carlton Spa features 16 treatment rooms, co-ed Roman mineral bath and steam room, group exercise classes and gym access. Highlighting the Spa's menu is the famed Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Facial, a luxurious 90-minute that utilizes a pumpkin enzyme mask.
In the evening, families will enjoy roasting s'mores by the resort's fire pits. Upon retiring to the room, the kids will enjoy winding down with a Bubbly Bath, a fun bath that features mounds of bubbles in a milk and honey bath salt soak, accompanied by delicious homemade cookies and hot chocolate or chocolate milk.
