Four Mile Beach

A very nice family beach. My grandchildren have fun in the creek and exploring the little tunnel cave.

Gorgeous Beach!! Great stunning view of rock midst of beach.. This beach is hidden gem. Very clean and with less people. Free roadside parking. It’s ~ a mile walk from parking and the trial is flat unlike other beaches around Santa Cruz. Easy for kids and elderly people to walk . Just follow the Google map.

This beach is beautiful! Has a cool cave to the far right, when you enter take the middle path which leads straight to the sandy shores, you can do campfire’s here and play volleyball as well! Very fun small hidden beach!

Lovely beach, it was the prefect escape from the Southern Bay Area Heat just an hour drive from San Jose. The is very limited parking and the parking lot was very rough. The hike down was about 10-15 minutes! The sand was soft and the wind was perfect making it a calm and peaceful beach visit. Remember to pack sunscreen prior to this trip, and a low clearance vehicle is not recommended for the main parking lot!

Perfect relaxing beach - a little off the beaten path (limited parking and about a 10 minute walk in), so it's not crowded, but a perfect little spot to get away. Lots of open and clean sand to sit or play, as well as an area off to the right side with little tide pools and rocks that you can explore through when the tide is low. Just be careful parking if you don't have a car with higher ground clearance, the dirt parking area has huge mounds and holes that could wreak havoc on a regular car if you're not careful.
