VIDEO. From the Half Moon Bay City Council meeting on Tuesday, June 20th, 2023 at 7:00pm, as a hybrid meeting.
HMB’s Assistant City Manager, John Doughty, reports to council.
The City prohibits alcohol (consistent with State Beaches) on all City-owned beaches.
Following several recent incidents in the neighborhood near Poplar Beach, the City is evaluating options for addressing after-hour activities, which are not only disruptive to nearby neighborhoods, but often represent public health concerns which include alcohol use/abuse and potential impaired driving.
In partnership with the Sheriff’s Office, we will resume locking the gate to the parking lot at Poplar Beach on Friday, June 23, 2023. Access to the parking lot will be limited to sunrise to sunset per the City’s Municipal Code. Poplar Beach itself will remain accessible to the public via the Coastal Trail and Poplar Parallel Trail in accordance with the California Coastal Act.
In addition to gate control, the Sheriff’s Office will continue to monitor after-hours activities. We ask for residents to partner with public safety by continuing to alert deputies of illicit activities.
We would like to thank community members for providing staff and the City Council the opportunity to respond meaningfully to these recent events. To report activity or an incident, please call 911 for emergencies or (650) 363-4911, the Sheriff’s non-emergency dispatch line.
Cierres de puertas del estacionamiento de Poplar Beach
Luego de varios incidentes recientes en el vecindario cerca de Poplar Beach, la Ciudad está evaluando opciones para abordar las actividades fuera del horario laboral, que no solo son perjudiciales para los vecindarios cercanos, sino que a menudo representan problemas de salud pública que incluyen el uso/abuso de alcohol y posibles problemas de manejo. En asociación con la Oficina del Sheriff, reanudaremos el cierre de la puerta del estacionamiento en Poplar Beach el viernes 23 de junio de 2023. El acceso al estacionamiento estará limitado desde el amanecer hasta el atardecer según el Código Municipal de la Ciudad. Poplar Beach seguirá siendo accesible al público a través de Coastal Trail y Poplar Parallel Trail de acuerdo con la Ley Costera de California. Además del control de la puerta, la Oficina del Sheriff continuará monitoreando las actividades fuera del horario de atención. Pedimos a los residentes que se asocien con la seguridad pública al continuar alertando a los agentes sobre actividades ilícitas.

Most notably, the City prohibited alcohol (consistent with State Beaches) on all City-owned beaches.

As a reminder:
- Fires are prohibited on the beach or bluff;
- Fireworks are prohibited throughout City limits;
- Smoking and vaping is prohibited on beaches; and

En particular, la ciudad prohibió el alcohol (de acuerdo con las playas estatales) en todas las playas de propiedad de la ciudad. Además, la Ciudad mantuvo la prohibición de envases de vidrio y amplió las prohibiciones a botellas de plástico de un solo uso de un litro (34 onzas) o menos.
