Moss Landing State Beach, State beach in Monterey County, US
Moss Landing State Beach extends along the Pacific Ocean with sandy shores, dunes, and jetties next to the harbor entrance.
The beach area developed alongside the Moss Landing port in the 1800s, serving as a crucial maritime transport hub for local fishing operations.
Local fishermen maintain traditional practices at this beach, where surf fishing and recreational angling remain significant community activities.
Visitors can access multiple parking areas along Jetty Road, with restroom facilities and designated paths leading directly to the beach.
The beach sits at the mouth of Elkhorn Slough, North America's second largest tidal salt marsh, creating distinct ecological conditions.
