Seabright Beach, Public beach in Santa Cruz, United States
Seabright Beach extends for half a mile between Santa Cruz Harbor and San Lorenzo River, featuring white sand and clear water for swimming.
The beach became part of Twin Lakes State Beach system in the twentieth century, joining California's network of protected coastal areas.
Local residents gather at the beach every Wednesday from spring through October to watch competitive sailboat races from the Santa Cruz Harbor.
Visitors can access free parking spaces in adjacent streets and enter through the main entrance near the Natural History Museum on East Cliff Drive.
A natural sandstone arch near the San Lorenzo River creates a passage that allows people to walk through to Main Beach during low tide.
