Located four miles north of Santa Cruz city limit; park in the rip-off-prone dirt lot on the ocean side of the highway and walk a half-mile down to the beach. If there is any swell, you’ll see cars and plenty of surfers standing on high ground craning to see the beach.
Mostly clean.
Grumpy locals and hillbillies with mean dogs. Thieves in parking lot.
