Davenport Beach, Sandy beach in Santa Cruz County, California, United States.
The beach stretches along the Pacific Coast with tall sandstone cliffs, fine sand, and multiple tide pools near the shoreline.
The beach takes its name from Charles Davenport, who established a brick manufacturing facility in the area during the late 1800s.
Local photographers and artists gather at the beach to capture the natural elements, marine life, and seasonal changes of the coastal environment.
Free parking spaces are available near Highway 1, and visitors need to take a short trail crossing railroad tracks to reach the beach.
The northern section features natural tunnels formed by erosion in the cliff formations, creating distinct geological structures along the coastline.
