Miramar Beach runs through the Miramar neighborhood in Half Moon Bay along the Mirada Road. Both the road and the beach are eroding away and during high tides the sand is covered with water. There is a rock barrier that was built to protect the road above the beach. Further north, the beach has already fallen into the ocean and all that is left is an open park area and a shoreline.

This park, known locally as Mirada Surf West, includes a part of the California Coastal Trail on its way north. The beach is popular with surfers and sun bathers, but is too cold for swimming. The trail that runs along the ridge above the beach offers spectacular views of the ocean and local fauna.
