Manresa State Beach
Watch the sunrise from a pristine beach in Santa Cruz county!
Splash in the surf or soak up the sunshine on the sand of Manresa State Beach. You can gaze in awe at the views of the bluff-backed beach and the Santa Cruz Mountains. Walk through the coastal strand and you might find a sand dollar or a scuttling crab.
With a sportfishing license, you can catch starry flounder, California halibut, barred surfperch, and more. Older children can learn water safety and environment efforts by enrolling in the Junior Lifeguard program. Join the fun with the Club Ed Surf Camp, an overnight surfing experience for older family members.
With 60 walk-in tent campsites, this park offers a variety of spots to call home overnight from mid-May to September. Bring your family pup and keep him on a leash with you at all times. The restrooms offer a shower, and there's an outdoor spigot to rinse the sa

Activities in the park
3 campgrounds in Manresa State Beach
Lupine Camp, along with the other two camps of Manresa State beach has 64 campsites, with parking off-site so you don’t have to listen to the drone of a running RV through the night. The campsites are fairly close to one another, although they are somewhat covered by trees.
Bay Campground is one of three at Manresa State Beach. Together, all three campgrounds have 64 campsites. All of the campsites are walk-in campsites, which can be a plus for some and a minus for others! Regardless, Bay Camp is an awesome place for beach camping and offers some shelter from nearby trees.
Along with Lupine Campground and Bay Campground, the three campgrounds of Manresa State Beach are home to 64 walk-in campsites. The campground is about a 10 minute (somewhat hilly) walk from parking, but since it’s walk-in it is usually pretty quiet at night (granted you don’t come across some college students who like camping).
