Getting Outdoors
Beaches are the main draw at Half Moon Bay, with four postcard-perfect stretches of sand to enjoy. On the northern border, Roosevelt Beach is fringed by grass-covered dunes. The adjoining Dunes Beach is hemmed in by sandstone bluffs, with steep sandy trails leading down to the ocean. Venice Beach welcomes you with a wide stretch of sand and plenty of space to lay down your towel and picnic blanket. To the south, Francis Beach is the most developed of the four, overlooked by a grassy blufftop dotted with picnic tables and barbecues. The wide sandy beach is a great place to sunbathe and build sandcastles. Due to strong riptides and big waves, swimming isn't recommended at any of the beaches.

Adam is professional, extremely personable, accommodating and timely with communication. His Tab 400 is immaculate, comfortable and has extra battery power for dry camping, It comes furnished with just about everything you'll need. I dry camp for a week and need to top off the on board batteries with my Anker Solix 1000 portable power pack about every three days, there's no shore power available at my campsite. I only use the onboard refrigerator, the water pump occasionally and the interior lights. The fridge is what uses most of the power. I'm 6' 1" tall and this camper works perfectly for me; the bed is comfortable and I can fully stand up inside.
This is the second time renting this Tab 400 and it definitely won't be the last!
Renting from Adam is how all Outdoorsy rentals should be.
