Seacliff State Beach
Yeah, the Santa Cruz Boardwalk is just up the coast—but you may not want to leave this sandy haven.
This Santa Cruz County beach at the north shore of Monterey Bay is an ideal spot for hanging out during the summer. Take the family and friends for a beautiful seaside sleepover.
Wait, what's that weird thing at the end of the pier? Oh, that's an old cement ship (that's right, cement), known as the SS Palo Alto. It was built during WWI and never used because the war ended.
The Cal-Nevada Company towed it to its current spot, partially sank it, and built a pier out to it. In its heyday (the 1920s), it had a heated swimming pool and a series of carnival-type concessions, as well as a cafe in the superstructure and a dance floor. Now? Well, it's falling apart. But still, cool to look at.
This state park welcomes RVs. Staying here puts you in prime position to visit Santa Cruz, or just walk along the beach with one
