This view will never get old! It’s not busy and very peaceful.
Great hiking around the slough. Saw lots of sea birds and otters, crabs, lizards and even 3 different snakes. Trails are easy hiking and they also do kayak trips into the slough. Fun place to see nature.
Great area to view the sunset without the congestion of Santa Cruz area. Manresa Beach!
