Review:

Continuing further south along the coast of Monterey Bay, visitors will find Manresa State Beach, a beautiful sandy area that is known for being very well kept.

There is a fee for parking at Manresa Beach, which is open daily from 8am to sunset, and visitors to the beach will find gorgeous views of the ocean, the Santa Cruz Mountains, and the Monterey Peninsula as they soak up the sunshine, build sandcastles, and splash in the water. Manresa State Beach is popular for a variety of reasons, but foremost among them are its status as a destination for surfing, surf fishing, and for watching breathtaking sunsets each evening.

Address: Manresa State Beach, 1445 San Andreas Rd, Watsonville, CA 95076, Phone: 831-724-3750
