El Granada, CA

El Granada is a coastal San Mateo County community on the Pacific side of the Peninsula, north of Half Moon Bay. Its most distinctive feature is an unusual concentric-circular street layout designed by architect and city planner Daniel Burnham. That planned pattern gives the village a different feel from the more linear coastal towns nearby. El Granada is close to beaches, Pillar Point Harbor, and the open coast, while still sitting within commuting distance of San Francisco and the broader Bay Area.
