Review:
Located north of Santa Cruz, where Hwy 1 meets Bonny Doon Rd, Bonny Doon Beach is a popular sandy beach close to the town of Davenport. There is a large parking area and visitors will need to cross the railway line to access the beach. Bonny Doon is a visually stunning beach, surrounded by rocky walls and backed by sand dunes. The Liddell creek flows through the rock wall and around the south end of the beach en-route to the ocean, affording wonderful paddling and wading opportunities for children. The beach is considered to be clothing-optional and there are many hidden sandy coves where you can soak up the sun and enjoy some privacy. Map
