VIDEO. From the City of Half Moon Bay City Council meeting April 6th, 2021. Project partners representing 11 jurisdictions will break ground 2025 for the Bay to Sea Trail. Stay tuned!!
Midpeninsula Regional Open Space District (MROSD) board members Zoe Kersteen-Tucker.
The Bay to Sea Trail is envisioned as an approximately 40-mile multiuse trail that will connect people from across the region to open space and create a link between the San Francisco Bay Trail and the California Coastal Trail along the Pacific Ocean.
Although the Bay to Sea Trail is just in the conceptual phase, our Ravenswood Open Space Preserve is envisioned as a key access point on the Bay side. Midpen’s Purisima-to-the-Sea Trail, also in the conceptual phase, will likely be a key portion of the coastal side.

Measure R was passed in 1972, starting in Santa Clara County. MROSD is an independent Special District in the San Francisco Bay Area that has preserved a regional greenbelt system of nearly 65,000 acres of public land and manages 26 Open Space Preserves.

In 2020, Midpen joined 10 other public agencies, municipalities and private nonprofit organizations that manage and protect open space in the Bay Area to formalize an agreement to collaborate on creating the Bay to Sea Trail for public use by 2037. Read the May 13, 2020 press release.
