Seabright Beach, which borders Santa Cruz Main Beach and is located between the harbor and the boardwalk, is a wonderful beach with smooth white sand. There is a large expanse of sand between the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and the natural wall that sticks out into the ocean where the San Lorenzo River meets the sea. A little natural rock arch allows river water to pass through.

A paved route extends from Seabright Beach to the magnificent Walton Lighthouse, which is positioned at the end of the Santa Cruz Breakwater.

Crescent Bay is hard to top when it comes to spectacular views. Tall cliffs bound the beach with caves to the north and south. Between them is a crescent's golden sand.

Crescent Bay is ideal for snorkeling along the granite outcroppings on either side of the shoreline when the waves are calm. Body surfers get excited about a south swell hitting Crescent as surfers are about Brooks Street or Rockpile beaches.

Pfeiffer Beach is the prettiest beach in Big Sur, with its purple sand and massive boulders. The explanation for the purple sand is unknown, but it is one of the attractions for visitors.

The beach is frequently windy with rough waves, so it is too unsafe to swim in, but it's a lovely area for walking and taking photos. The rock arch, a big boulder on the beach with a large opening that appears like a gate through which waves constantly pass, is another Instagrammable spot that is attractive to a lot of tourists.

Photograph the famed Keyhole Rock, explore the tide pools at this isolated gem, and take the best photos, especially around sunset.

Sonoma Coast is a network of sandy enclaves separated by several stunning rocky headlands that stretch 19 miles. Some beaches are small and tucked away in secluded coves, while others sprawl for miles.

Bring binoculars and a camera and explore Goat Rock State Beach. You can see amazing vistas, rocks, small islands, inlets, and changeable tides, which are breathtaking.

Exploring this area is a great day trip, but there are no amenities, so bring plenty of water and food and a fully charged cell phone in case of an emergency.

There are huge mountains, steep slopes, deep valleys, and vast caverns. Ancient gigantic sequoias may appear impregnable, but they are vulnerable trees well. Learn more about the environment and nature in one of the visitor centers or Giant forest museum.
