Beautiful beach tucked away in Santa Cruz. There are multiple overlooks with great views of the oceans and islands just off the shore. Plenty of space on the beach to spread out and enjoy the sand.

A full day on the beach with family proved to be the right choice. Watching the pelicans land and take off from the huge bridges was entertaining. $10.00 entry is cheap for the experience.

We went to Natural Bridges State Park. It was nice that this time the park was open to drive in (it had not been due to the virus.). We had a nice time on the beach. This is a very scenic park in Santa Cruz.

Went here with friends on the way to Wilder State Park. It was an easy hike and worth it for the pretty beach and beautiful rock structure.

The Bridges weren't there in 1960, but the beach is. Add this stop to your drive along West Cliff Drive.
