Pescadero Beach
10 Zayn Farid Shah

The breathtaking scenery of the vast ocean is truly remarkable. The abundance of Seagals soaring in the sky is a sight to behold. The majestic cliff adorned with lush greenery adds to the picturesque view.

Twin Lakes Beach
10 Ethan Davis

This beach, situated just a mile south of Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, is a real hidden treasure. It boasts a team of three lifeguards, two of whom are on a Sea-Doo for rescues, and has plenty of excellent waves perfect for boogie boarding. Additionally, there are restrooms available and the beach is located in a peaceful area, making it an ideal spot for families.

Redondo Beach
10 Samantha Rios

This place is a real hidden treasure! We arrived just in time to catch the sunset and were able to enjoy it for a while. The parking lot started to fill up as the sun went down, but it wasn't too crowded. We didn't actually go down to the beach because the path was steep and muddy, but we did manage to capture some great drone footage. There's also a trail you can take if you don't want to go down to the beach, which is perfect for birdwatching or just relaxing. We'll definitely be coming back!

Four Mile Beach
10 Kian Faridani

What an extraordinary location! I spent the entire day here, and it was worth every moment. This is an ideal destination to admire breathtaking vistas, catch some waves, and relish the true essence of the West Coast. During low tide, the tide pools reveal a plethora of fascinating creatures, which is a sight to behold. The colossal rock wall shields the beach from the wind, making it an ideal spot even on cooler days.

Pomponio Beach
10 Seren D.

This stunning beach boasts magnificent rocky cliffs that have been skillfully carved by the relentless waves. We were fortunate enough to visit during low tide, which allowed us to relax comfortably on the rocks. The beach is scattered with driftwood, and I was able to find some truly unique pieces. As the sun began to set, we were treated to a breathtaking display of colors. Unfortunately, the sign indicating that dogs were not allowed was a disappointment. Despite this, I couldn't resist bringing my furry friends along, and they had an absolute blast. The beach also offers convenient amenities such as picnic tables and a bathroom. All in all, this beach has quickly become one of my favorites.
