Located between Santa Cruz harbor and the boardwalk, Seabright Beach is a lovely beach with soft white sand bordering Santa Cruz Main Beach.
The wide expanse of sand stretches between the Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and the natural wall that sticks out into the ocean where the San Lorenzo River meets the sea. River water passes through a small natural rock arch.
There is a nice little park on East Cliff Drive with the sights of the Santa Cruz Boardwalk Amusement Park and Main Beach.
The picturesque Walton Lighthouse is perched at the far end of the Santa Cruz Breakwater and a paved trail leads to it from Seabright Beach. Dogs are allowed on-leash.
