My

The
visit:
This
long stretch of ocean sand beach has great accessible facilities including
picnic areas, an interpretive center and RV camping.
This
beach is known for its long-paved pedestrian road right on the ocean where you
can hike south and cross the Rio Del Mar bridge, after crossing the bridge you
can keep hiking south on the sandy beach for many more miles.
You can
also hike to the north in the direction of Capitola.
At
summertime the beach is also a popular swimming spot.
One of
the most unusual attractions in the Santa Cruz area rests at the end of the
fishing pier: the old SS Palo Alto drowned ship that populated by the local
birds.
