Review:

A very big beach, Seabright State Beach stands out for the pretty local lighthouse and sailboats that are often seen here. Open all day long, this beach is a popular place for locals and travelers to gather in the evenings, with various fire pits open for public use.

Lighting up a beach bonfire is a lot of fun, but the pits are provided on a first-come, first-served basis and can be very popular, so it can often pay off to arrive early and stake your claim before other people begin to arrive.

This beach is also conveniently located near the Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History, which is a nice place to spend a few hours in between sunbathing sessions. Map
