Latest reviews on Pajaro Dunes's beaches

Rio Del Mar Beach
10 Lila and children

This is undoubtedly one of my most cherished beaches, but I secretly wish to keep it all to myself. I can only hope that visitors will treat it with the utmost respect and maintain its pristine condition, as it remains the only secluded beach in the charming town of Aptos.

Manresa Beach
6 Sarai Rodriguez

This beach is perfect if all you're looking for is a place to relax. You'll need to bring your own food and activities, but it's great for kids. I'd give it three stars, though, because there's only one bathroom, so you may have to wait up to ten minutes to rinse off.

Zmudowski Beach
6 Larissa

This beach is not among the most attractive ones in the vicinity. We attempted to bring our RV, but I would advise against it. There are only around 20 parking spaces, and none of them are designated for RVs. There was just one small portable restroom available. The beach was covered in feathers and we came across four dead birds. While there are lovely sand dunes, they are off-limits for playing due to protected species. All in all, it's a decent beach.

Island Beach
10 Anya Richardson

We thoroughly enjoy our time at this beach. There are several restaurants nearby and the locals are incredibly friendly.
