Welcome to our Best California Beaches page. We are going to mention just a few of the best beaches of the Golden State.
California is blessed by more than 800 miles of coast and amazing beaches. Some are rough and great for sightseeing but not for swimming, but most of them are ideal for all kind of water activities almost year round.
The beaches of Sonoma are wild and great for surfing
Sonoma Coast State Beaches
These are some of the most natural beaches in the state with the cleanest waters. It is located between Bodega bay and Jenner, way north of San Francisco.
That said you may imagine that the beaches are not so great for swimming because of the cold waters. It is also said that some waves could be treacherous and catch you by surprise. Never seat with the back to the ocean here.
The beaches of Santa Cruz in the Monterey Bay Area
Santa Cruz Beaches
The beaches of Santa Cruz are in the Monterey bay Area. There are about 30 beaches as varied as they can be to please everyone. To get there you can walk through the Santa Cruz Boardwalk to the main beach. The beach has all amenities necessary for a great visit, like lifeguards, sun beds, umbrellas and more. This beach is great for surfing, swimming, sunbathing and sail boarding. They are recommended as the best California Beaches for families with small children.
Rodeo Beach at the Golden Gate National Recreation Area
Located at the end of Cayuco’s drive, this town is regarded by
Californians as a one of the best getaways in the state.
It features breathtaking views of the ocean. This place is where the
“Annual Polar Bear Dip” happens annually on New Year’s Day. Would you take a
dip? Not me…
Santa Barbara California features the Best California Beaches
Santa Barbara East Beach
Santa Barbara itself is a lovely city. I have visited several times and I always enjoy the manicured lawns and gardens and the beautiful homes.
Regarding the beach, I have heard that the waters are not so clean. So you better check with local authorities before venturing into the waters.
The beach has umbrellas, chairs people playing volleyball and on Sundays, local artists display their art under the palm trees.
