Plaže na Santa Ana

This beach park is a favorite among locals, including myself, because of its natural landscape. The pedestrian paths outnumber the vehicle roads, which creates a nice separation from city life. The sand beach walk is located below street level, away from the busy Pacific Coast Highway. The trails from the parking lots wind through areas of local sage, scrub brush, and chaparral. Along the way, you can also find restroom structures. By using Google Maps Satellite View, you can easily locate the beach access and find highlights along the trail. Crystal Cove State Park is well-known for its clean sand beach and ocean. In the summertime, it's great for swimming and occasionally surfing, although body boarding is more common. Lifeguards are always present and keep a close watch. During the off season, the watch stations are moved and lined up on dry land. The waterfront is a year-round spectacle with its tide pools, which are definitely worth the hike. The beach walk is lined with ocean-carved rock formations. You can set up beach chairs, a tarp, or a towel to hold a spot and enjoy watching the waves, boats offshore, or kids building sand castles. The entrance fee for vehicles is $15, but prices may change in the summertime. The day use side is open from 6:00 am to sunset.

Pogled je vsekakor vreden truda, tudi če se odpravite samo na hitri pohod iz parkirišča 1, ki je najsevernejše parkirišče. Poti so večinoma tlakovane in jih je mogoče enostavno prehoditi s vozičkom. Pomembno je opozoriti, da so nekateri deli poti strmi, še posebej, če se spuščate na plažo. Poleg tega je zadnji del poti do opazovalne ploščadi opremljen s stopnicami in strmimi prepadi na obeh straneh.

Ta plaža je res izjemna! Pesek je izjemne kakovosti, obsežnost plaže pa je precej impresivna in zagotavlja dovolj prostora za različne rekreacijske dejavnosti. Vendar pa je pomembno opozoriti, da na kraju samem ni na voljo nobenih sanitarij ali tušev.

Kakšno čudovito doživetje je uživanje v toplem objemu sonca!

Ta izvrstna plaža je pravi biser, skrit pred vrvežem množice. To je popolno mesto za tiste, ki iščejo mir in tišino, kjer so zvoki valov in nežen vetrič edini spremljevalci. Obvezna destinacija za tiste, ki cenijo lepoto narave v njeni najčistejši obliki.
