Moran Lake Beach
10 Lila McAllister

This beach is my absolute favorite spot! It's always immaculate and well-maintained. I had the pleasure of visiting on New Year's Day and was pleasantly surprised to find it relatively uncrowded. I was able to secure a parking spot in the lot, which was a bonus. Additionally, there's a charming walking trail that's easily accessible from the parking lot.

Natural Bridges Beach
10 Samantha Reynolds

What a stunning location! As a child, I adored visiting this beach and it always amazed me that such a beautiful place was so close to home. As a local real estate agent, I am excited to share some helpful tips and photos of the area's best places to explore. The best part is that most of them are free, including Natural Bridges State Marine Reserve. If you're a lover of the outdoors and the beach, then Santa Cruz should be on your must-visit list. Situated on the west side of Santa Cruz, Natural Bridges can be found at the end of the picturesque West Cliff Drive and Swanton Blvd. This reserve boasts a beach and park area, which offers public access to tide pools. It's best to visit during low tide to truly appreciate the stunning starfish, sea anemones, shore crabs and other colourful sea creatures. In addition, Moore Creek flows through the park. The reserve is also home to the majestic Monarch Butterflies. You can learn more about these creatures at the museum and store located within the park. It's a fantastic spot to take your family for a breath of fresh air and some incredible views. Enjoy your weekend!

The scenery was truly majestic and breathtaking. We feel incredibly fortunate to have stumbled upon this hidden gem!

Mavericks Beach

The beach is welcoming to dogs and offers an intriguing tide pool ecosystem to explore. Families with children can be seen playing in the sand and individuals can be found collecting clams. Taking advantage of the low tide, we ventured to the other side known as Ross' Cove, making our trip quite thrilling.

China Beach

Upon my initial visit to the beach, I was taken aback by the picturesque view of the bridge. Despite the beach's diminutive size, it was still a delightful sight to behold and pleasantly unpopulated.

The beach is stunning and offers ample space to relax. The sunsets are truly breathtaking. The parking situation is decent, but the cleanliness of the bathrooms leaves something to be desired.
