Maverick's
Maverick's Surf spot can be seen from all beaches. Look for the "giant golf ball" near harbor peninsula. The surrounding property is government owned. The easiest way to view the area is to look for the huge radar that looks like a "large golf ball on a tee." That is Maverick's surf area below. Do not attempt to access this beach as it is dangerous and difficult. The professionals access it through jet ski's.
Maverick's location can be seen in this image. The surf location is not accessible from shore. Only professional surfers dare attempt the surf spot. Waves can get up to 40 ft. high.
This Maverick's sign reads, " Maverick's put Half Moon Bay on the map..."
"It's like the mafia. Once you're in - you're in. There's no getting out."
