Perfect spot to stay and be close to the boardwalk. You could hear the fun happening during park hours and when the park closed, it was quiet. Great place to stay. We will definitely come back.

This was a really lovely stay. Away from the noise of Santa Cruz, we relaxed in the pool, played pickle ball, and enjoyed the onsite bar/restaurant/music. Ideal for adults looking for a quiet few days away where you can park the car and stay put until checkout.

Natural Bridges State Park
Sitting under a sea cave with my little one at Shark Fin Cove. A picturesque beach with stunning views of Northern California's stunning coastal landscape. During low tide, you can explore all kinds of sea creatures in the tide pools and if you're lucky, you can spot humpback whales during their migration season. There is a small parking lot by a discontinued railroad track where you can park your car and walk across to the beach entrance. It can be a bit steep and slippery at times so wear good shoes! #Adventure #beautifulplaces #familytime #memories #discoveries #exploring #withchildren #nature #outdoors #lanscape #northerncalifornia #beaches #usa #sharkfincove #davenport #santacruz
