About Us

We're Ginger Minoletti and Mary Corcoran, co-owners of Half Moon Bay Coastside Tours and long-time Half Moon Bay residents and travel professionals. We think the San Mateo coastside is one of the best places to visit near San Francisco and Silicon Valley, and we’re dedicated to planning a memorable vacation or event for you.

We're passionate about our region's pristine beaches, local art and music scene, great food and wine, sailing, hiking and other activities. Our mission is to share that passion with our clients by creating tailored itineraries led by knowledgeable and personable tour guides.

Ginger has long served local residents as a travel agent through her company, BayWorld Travel, and Mary works as a travel agent at BayWorld and as Director of Marketing for Barterra Winery in Half Moon Bay.
