There is a reason we don’t call it the “Best of the Coastside.” How does

one pick the best sushi roll when there are so many to choose from? The best beach? Well, that’s pretty subjective.

These are the annual Readers Choice Awards and it is all about your favorites. It’s a fun way to give recognition to the businesses, the people and the places in our community that make this place unique.

This was not multiple choice. We did not have voters pick from an edited list. This was all on your own, and we tallied every last ballot —

more than 1,400 of them!

Some of the winners were landslides. Many

were decided by the slimmest of margins. We included more

than 70 categories including a few ones that are new this year. Take a look.

Did your favorite take a prize?

A PARTIALLY HIDDEN GEM ON THE COAST

There is no swath of land on the Coastside more beloved than Montara State Beach. Visit and you will know why it is the Readers Choice for best beach and best place to

have a picnic.Just look at the Yelp reviews:“What a great place to chill and zen out!”“I would defi nitely recommend this place if you just want to

enjoy the sound of the waves without the crowds.”“We have fi nally found our go-to beach stpot!”The beach is beautiful and protected and an obvious

draw for beach-lovers across the region. But it’s also a bit off the beaten path, a bit hard to get to, and parking can be a bit diffi cult. All that deters some of the tourist traffi c that fi lls

beaches to the south. So it feels like a local destination.The beach isn’t for everyone, and that may be part of its

charm. It can be windy, and water conditions can make for dangerous surf. Be careful and dress warmly.

And bring your camera. If there is any spot ready-made for your Facebook profi le photo, it’s Montara State Beach.

Just don’t love it too much. Dogs require a leash and bonfi res are a no-no. If you want to get married on the beach or have a special event, call the San Mateo County Sector Offi ce of State Parks at 726-8819.

‘Orange’ you glad for Farmer John?LONGTIME FARMER IS A LOCAL FAVORITE

To say fall is a busy time for Farmer John Muller and his family is to make an understatement. That’s because October means pumpkins.

Muller’s pumpkin patch on Highway 1 in Half Moon Bay earned the nod as the Readers Choice this year. His iconic spot is different from some around here because he eschews the grander entertainment venues with a fall theme that abound elsewhere on highways 1 and 92.

“They do a great job entertaining people,” he said of his friendly competition, “but we decided to keep it agriculture.”

The Mullers have farmed for many years, leasing the 18 acres for more than four decades. They haven’t always been in the pumpkin game, however.

“We were a bit late with it,” he said. “We were fl ower farmers in real life, but that business changed so we reinvented

our business.”Today the Mullers offer about 50 varieties of pumpkin on

their patch. And visitors stream in from all over the coast and all over the world. He said they get 2,000 to 3,000 school kids every year, all of them coming to learn about coastal agriculture. He keeps tabs on many visitors from around the globe.

“I just got an email from Switzerland. I gave this lady a seed and she brought it back for her father to grow,” Muller said. “She sent me a picture. It’s a 50- or 60-pounder.”

New this year: an Ohlone-style hut that will highlight the native dwellings of the Coastside.

Muller is ready for his busiest season.“It’s an exciting time of year,” he said. “I can’t sleep!”

Parsons is favorite in the gymCOASTSIDE HISTORY WORKS TO HIS ADVANTAGE

Athletes sometimes have complicated relationships with their coaches, but that isn’t the case when it comes to John W. Parsons. He is synonymous with

Coastside hoops and the Readers Choice as favorite coach.When Parsons makes suggestions, his young charges

know he speaks from winning experience. He is a member of the Half Moon Bay High School Sports Hall of Fame. He set county records for 3-pointers and his No. 23 was retired by the Cougars. He was a two-time San Mateo County Player of the Year.

After a stint coaching for his alma mater, he has moved on to lead AAU squads out of Half Moon Bay. Learn more at coastsidebasketball.com.

Parsons says he currently has about 60 kids, many of them in elementary school. And they are learning to compete at a high level.

“I want to get them out of the Half Moon Bay fi shbowl,”

he said. He said his teams sometimes play more talented teams from all over the Bay Area, but his kids have a secret weapon: togetherness. Many of them have played together as Coastsiders for their whole lives.

“It’s kind of that ‘Hoosiers’ thing,” he said with a chuckle, referencing the movie in which the small-town kids win a state championship over the big-time city programs.

Parsons says his own long history on the Coastside helps him create a rapport with young athletes.

“Me being in the community so long is helpful — even if the kids don’t know who I am,” he said.

Parsons says he feels honored to be noticed when there are so many deserving coaches in the community.

“It’s pretty cool,” he said.

Photography ‘just made sense to me’DUPREZ FOUND PASSION ON COAST

Shanti Duprez remembers exactly when fate found her.“I was working my fi rst job at La Di Da café 20 years

ago and a co-worker said she was leaving Coastside Photography,” she recalled. Duprez thought that sounded like a fun place to work and so she went to see the proprietor, Tammy Trejo, who quickly became a mentor. Now she can brag about being Readers Choice for photography on the coast.

“She steered me toward an art degree,” Duprez said. “Photography just made sense to me.”

After college she worked for others for a bit, but friends kept clamoring for her to shoot their portraits and special events. In 2000, she went into business for herself. Today, portraitsbyshanti.com is fi lled with lovingly produced portraits and coastal wedding photography.

She laughs when asked whether wedding photography is a diffi cult assignment.

“I love it,” she said. “I love thinking on my feet and being a part of such a monumental event for people.”

Talking to Duprez, you get the sense that she would be taking photographs even if her work was just a hobby.

“I am a huge people-watcher,” she said. “Photography gives me an excuse to watch and get paid for it!”.

January is a favorite artist all year longPUMPKIN FEST POSTERS BROUGHT ART HOME

If you want a measure for the professionalism and prolifi c nature that January Hooker brings to her art, consider that in October the Coastal Arts League is

hosting a 50-year retrospective of her work.“I can hardly believe it myself,” said January, this year’s

Readers Choice for the Coastside’s favorite artist. Hooker was very appreciative of the honor.

“I don’t have a shop, and I haven’t been very public,” she said.

The breadth of the CAL show is possible because of all the encouragement she has felt in her life as an artist. She remembers her mother bringing her to Saturday morning classes at the Cleveland Institute of Art when she was growing up in Ohio.

“My mom bought me lots of paint-by-numbers,” she

said. “It trains your hands like playing scales on the piano.”She also credits her husband, Chad Hooker, for

supporting her work.As a result, January’s artwork is now synonymous with

Half Moon Bay. That is largely because she was associated with the Half Moon Bay Art and Pumpkin Festival for more than 20 years. Hooker’s colorful event poster designs included little hidden touches just for fans of her work who would look for a tiny sailboat here or a purple ribbon there.

And her work spread throughout the community like so many pumpkins on the vine. These days, she is proud to have her work inside the Coastside Adult Day Health Center, among other places.

COASTAL TR

AIL

THE PERFECT PLACE FOR A GOOD WALK IS ONLY STEPS AWAY

To the surprise of no one, the California Coastal Trail was the Readers’ Choice for favorite place to walk the dog and as the favorite place to walk or ride a bike.

How could it be otherwise?The Coastal Trail is a truly a local treasure, our part

of a plan that seems always under development. Outdoor enthusiasts would love to complete an easily accessible pedestrian trail to run the length of the California coast, but it seems all we can do to complete and maintain our little sliver of that grandiose vision. Consequently, there are breaks in the chain. You’ll have to off-road a bit if you want to get from Half Moon Bay up through the Midcoast.

But when you do, there is nothing like a walk on the Coastal Trail. Just ask Fido!

Whether on a sunny day with gentle off-shore breezes or a blustery early winter hike when the sky threatens to open up, the trail can be awe-inspiring. You might see sea birds skittering underfoot or overhead. There are native plants on all sides. And at the right time of year, you are very likely to see whales spouting just off the beach.

There is good news this year, too. By the end of the year, the city of Half Moon Bay expects to have re-opened the Pilarcitos Bridge, meaning walkers can now make their way all the way through Half Moon Bay.

The Coastal Trail will never be beat.

Simms keeps things fl owingCUSTOMER SERVICE IS KEY IN THIS BUSINESS

F ace it: Who wants to call a plumber?There are things we do because we want to and

things we do out of necessity and paying a plumber falls into the latter category. Perhaps, then, it is particularly worthy of note when a local plumbing service is named a favorite in our Reader’s Choice awards.

Steve Simms, owner of Simms Plumbing in Pescadero, is synonymous with effi cient service for many on the coast. He and his eight-plumber crew criss-cross the coast every day unclogging lines, changing out fi xtures and just generally getting things fl owing again.

Offi ce support is key to the operation. Kathy Llorente says that Veronica, Sherry and herself understand that customers are often stressed out when they call so they take pains not to make the situation any worse by bungling scheduling or failing to

provide anything but top-notch service.Llorente says that hardly a days goes by

without someone complimenting the men on the job sites. That makes it easier on the offi ce staff, she said.

In some ways, Simms harkens back to an earlier way of doing business, when customer relations were more important than social media relations. In fact, the company doesn’t even have a website.

“Yeah, we’re still a little old-school here,” she said with a laugh.

Alena Jean makes memories out of fl owersHMB SHOP IS FAVORITE FOR WEDDINGS

Even the most joyous occasion can be a stressful one, so it helps to have a trusted local artisan in your corner. That’s precisely where you will fi nd

Alena Jean Barragan, proprietor of the Readers’ Choice for favorite fl orist shop.

Barragan spends a good deal of her time making fl oral arrangements for Coastside weddings. It allows her to put her artistic training to good use. She graduated from San Francisco State University with a bachelor’s degree in art and says she tries to incorporate into her fl oral arrangements all that she has learned by working in sculpture and ceramics.

But really, you could also say she was born into the fl ower business. She remembers, as a young girl, helping

her mother around the family fl oral shop then known as Flora Farm. While the family landscaping business by that name remains vital, the fl ower shop closed after 14 years. Barragan opened her own shop on Purissima Street 10 years ago.

“She was only 2 when we opened our shop,” says Barragan’s mother, Nancy Whiting. “That’s the age of her daughter now.”

Some days Whiting can still be found answering the phone on behalf of her daughter’s busy shop. She calls herself a volunteer.

“I can’t be fi red!” she said with a laugh.

Coastside foodies turn to New LeafGROCERY HAS SPECIAL PLACE IN COMMUNITY

New Leaf Community Market was the runaway favorite grocery store in this year’s Readers’ Choice balloting. Regulars won’t be surprised.

The many votes are likely because the Half Moon Bay store – one of seven in the region – boasts the coast’s largest selection of fruits and vegetables, and has an eclectic and always interesting display of fi ne wines, cheeses and other specialty products you can’t fi nd elsewhere. But that’s not the whole story. While many Coastsiders do all their weekly shopping at New Leaf, it is also a popular stop for people looking for a lunchtime sandwich or a quick, prepared dinner.

And beyond that shoppers appreciate the company’s reputation for giving back to the community. Often, Thursdays are “Community Days,” when New Leaf returns 5 percent of the day’s sales to local nonprofi ts. There are 10-cent “Envirotokens” that are given to everyone who reuses a grocery bag. In Half Moon Bay, customers can give those tokens to the Friends of Fitzgerald Marine Reserve, Coastside Land Trust, Elkus Ranch, Coastside State Parks Association, Pie Ranch or, new this year, to the California Native Plant Society. New Leaf even offers classes, workshops and many community events.

New Leaf is the place Coastsiders shop when they want to make a memorable meal and a difference.

“Tide pools draw provide a learning experienceUNIQUE ENVIRONMENT IS VERY FRAGILE

There is no doubt that the Fitzgerald Marine Reserve is one of the most beautiful spots on the Coastside. Then the tide goes out and it becomes one of the most

interesting places, too.The complex geology, sea level reefs, pocket beaches

and nutrient rich waters create the perfect habitat for diverse marine life, much of which can be observed fi rst-hand. This is no aquarium, however. Conditions can change quickly and be quite rough and the impact of visitors is of prime concern. If you do go to this Moss Beach treasure, be cautious and respectful of all the sea life. You’ll leave with wet feet and a renewed sense of wonder .

eMONTARA

MOUNTAIN

CLIMB FOR INCREDIBLE VIEW OF BAY AREA

As dividing lines go, you can’t do much better than Montara Mountain. The northern-most “peak” in the Review readership area, the mountain serves as a

dividing line between our Coastside and the city of Pacifi ca and suburbs to the north.

The mountain was named the Readers Choice for favorite place to take a hike in the region. It’s no wonder.

The top of the mountain provides one of the best vantages in the area. On a clear day, you can see much of the Bay Area at the top of your hike. But the mountain can also be cold, dreary and wet. It even gets a dusting of snow from time to time. A species of manzanita, known as Arctostaphylos montaraensis or Montara manzanita, clings to the mountainside. In fact, the fertile soils heading up the mountain provide for a diverse coastal fl ora.

Getting there isn’t for the faint of heart, and getting there will likely keep you heart-healthy. Be prepared to climb. The elevation gain is listed at more than 1,800 feet! You can also fi nd trailheads at McNee Ranch, Farralone Cutoff through the county-maintained San Pedro Valley Park and from Gray Whale Cove. Pack water and perhaps a snack. The hikes are as far as 10 miles, roundtrip.
