The coast will not be hot at all. You might even catch some 50F weather, especially near HMB.

Pescadero south of Half Moon Bay is nice, so is the Pigeon Point Lighthouse.
Just south of Pigeon Point lighthouse on Hwy1 is a nice park along the ocean, just some trails.

Yes, Pescadero is worth visiting, and San Gregorio has a great little store:

If you're going to come up from Santa Clara on the bay side of the hills before cutting over to the coast to get to Half Moon Bay, you'll go by Palo Alto and Stanford, which are also worth seeing. I'd be happy to meet up with you and any others who are interested.
Highway 280 is far more beautiful than 101, for when you drive north from Santa Clara.

Thank you all for the advice. The lighthouse looks great and everything suggested is right along the route.

Ano Nuevo to see the Elephant Seals. It's on highway one between HMB and SC, (closer to SC). Near Davenport.
I've been there different times of year. There's always some seals to see.

I have a 4 day trip up there at the end of July with the wifey and will have appx noon to 9pm free on the Saturday. Was thinking of driving up to half moon bay and then down the coast, stop at Henry Cowell State Park, and then Santa Cruz.
Despite living in California for the entirety of my 50+ years on the planet, I’ve never been to that part of California except driving through San Jose on the freeway.
Is there anything I should not miss out on? I’m assuming even in late July, the coast will not be terribly hot. Is that correct?
