Palm Beach, Public beach in Santa Cruz County, United States.
Palm Beach is a public beach in Santa Cruz County along the California coast, stretching across sandy shores with views of agricultural lands and pine forests. The shoreline offers picnic tables, barbecue facilities, restrooms, and outdoor showers for visitors.
The area was once called Camp Goodall, a settlement with small cottages that later took its current name after a Florida resort. This change shows how the location evolved and acquired its new identity over time.
The Indigenous Calendaruc tribes originally stewarded these coastal lands, maintaining a deep connection with the region through generations.
The beach is open from early morning until sunset, allowing visitors to explore the area at their own pace. During wet weather, pathways can become slippery, so sturdy footwear is recommended for comfortable walking.
The beach borders the mouth of the Pajaro River and connects coastal land directly with farmland through West Beach Street. This position creates an unusual spot where agricultural and ocean environments meet closely.
