My apologies, Hamish is right. :-( Having not had the pleasure of landing at
Shelter Cove, Half Moon Bay was the only airport in my experience on the
West Coast that appeared to fit and it has been over ten years since I last
landed there, having moved to the Pacific Northwest in 1995. Just shows that
the visual memory fades over time.

Ah, don't feel too bad -- they're easy airports to mistake for each
other, especially when the damn fog rolls in :-). Anyway, absent the
fog, they're both great fly-in destinations (except that Half Moon Bay
is only a few minutes' flight from here, which lessens the adventure),
with picnic and / or cafe-style food within easy walking distance.
Shelter Cove even has a decent camping spot right next to the departure
end of runway 13.... But watch for that fog -- in both places it can
appear almost out of nowhere within minutes, meaning no VFR flying for
possibly the next few days. As I discovered.
