Half Moon Bay becomes the Bay Area capital for pumpkins as thousands visit the coastal California town for October tourism.
A waiter pauses outside an Italian restaurant on Main Street in Half Moon Bay on Oct. 9 with his head on a swivel. “Look at that,” he mutters as his eyes follow a caravan of pickups each loaded with a gargantuan gourd strapped to the truck bed. A few hours earlier, a Minnesota man beat out the competition to take first place at the 50th Annual Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off in a nearby parking lot.
Not far from this intersection is the Alpresso Coffee stand that has a direct view of the weekend traffic jam. One of the employees told SFGATE that she’s seen it take 30 minutes to get past Main Street from Highway 1, merely a couple of blocks in length.
