A wide, sandy beach break south of Santa Cruz near Watsonville. Offers mellow, beginner-friendly waves on smaller days and more powerful peaks when the swell picks up. The long stretch of open beach means plenty of room to spread out and avoid crowds. A great alternative to the busier breaks closer to town.
