Description

Added by Elena P

A scenic trail along the Santa Cruz coast.

This is a paved trail that can be used for hiking, jogging, or walking. It offers over 2 miles of beautiful California coast. Walk through flowers, see the jagged cliffs, and of course the lighthouse at the end! This walk can be done from either direction. Start at Natural Bridges and head West to the lighthouse, or vice versa. Relaxing at Natural Bridges and exploring the tide pools is a nice way to end your hike.

AllTrails calls this a hike, but its a walk with lots of people just wandering about. Could be good for jogging, but it gets crowded

Surf Four Mile Beach

Four Mile is a reef/point break that is a couple of miles north of town. This spot usually picks up more swell than in town so it is a popular spot for many locals to surf. When the swell picks up, it offers long rights towards the beach. The current can be strong when there is a lot of swell in the water so approach with caution. Summer offers more manageable surf size, while winter offers som...

Natural Bridges State Beach

Natural Bridges State Beach is a wonderful place to photograph located in Santa Cruz off of West Cliff Drive. This is a great place to practice long exposure photography to capture awesome water movement as it passes through the "Natural Bridge" formation. The best time to shoot this spot is at sunrise due to the sun risng in the east directly behind the formation making for an awesome photo. ...

Surf at Natural Bridges State Beach

Natural Bridges is off of West Cliff Drive to the north of popular Santa Cruz break, Steamer Lane. The break is a right point break, which breaks on a rocky shelf and reef. The break is best during sizable swells (NW, SW, and West) and a low tide. Be sure to check the wind, this break gets blown out because it's more exposed than Steamer Lane. Also, bring your booties, the reef is pretty sharp....

Beach Day at Lighthouse Field State Beach

This beach is less crowded compared to other beaches in Santa Cruz. I got there early on a Saturday and found easy street parking. There was plenty of space to spread out on the soft sand. Later in the day I saw dolphins several times! This is close to the Santa Cruz Surfing Museum. It’s also not too far from the boardwalk. Expect to see Monarch butterflies if you come in the winter as it...
