With beautiful beaches ideal for surfing and Highway 1 which takes travelers along our breathtaking coastline, it’s no wonder that the San Mateo Coastal area draws in exciting events each year. We’re pleased to announce the return of two sporting competitions that bring crowds and media coverage our way and highlight all that our coast has to offer.
The first is taking place this Saturday, February 13, on the shores of Half Moon Bay where surf
ers from around the world will compete in the Mavericks Surf contest for the $150,000 prize. Surf enthusiasts and local business owners welcome this event which has brought in upwards of 40,000 spectators in the past to the small beach surrounding Pillar Point. For those not planning to attend the event, please note that Princeton will be closed to drivers coming off Capistrano Road at Prospect Way and Airport Street on contest day – except to Princeton residents and business owners. And although this may make travel around this area tricky, it’s a small price to pay for the attention and business brought to our community. If you’ve never witnessed the Mavericks Surf contest, this may be the year to check it out!
Another exciting event of which our community gets to be an integral part is The Amgen Tour of California bicycle race which was officially announced this past Wednesday and will make its way along the San Mateo Coast. Highway 1 is stage three of this six-stage race along the coast making this the second time our highway will be used in the five years of this race’s existence. Set for May 18, this race 120 mile race begins in Ocean Beach in San Francisco at 11:15 am and concludes in Santa Cruz, about four hours later.
If you’ve always wanted to be involved in a community where fun events are guaranteed and the residents enjoy taking part in all that’s offered, perhaps the San Mateo Coastal area is for you! We’ve loved living in this paradise inspired location and know you would as well! We’d be happy to show you around the community and some of the great homes that are available. We hope to hear from you soon!
