Harbor Beach, Public beach in Santa Cruz, California
Harbor Beach extends along the Pacific coastline, featuring a wide stretch of sand and clear waters next to Santa Cruz Harbor.
The beach developed alongside the Santa Cruz Harbor construction in the 1960s, becoming an essential part of the local maritime infrastructure.
The beach serves as a meeting point for local fishing enthusiasts, paddle boarders, and kayakers who gather daily for water activities.
Free parking spaces are available near the harbor entrance, and visitors can access rental equipment from nearby water sports facilities.
The protected location next to the harbor creates consistently calm waters, making it particularly suitable for beginning swimmers and children.
