Panther Beach

Cute!! You will want to go at low tide in order to enjoy more of the beach. The beach younger to traverse some steep sand uneven spots. Not a define path down the beach, it was dirty but the beach perfect.

We went on a weekday and caught the most amazing sunset!

Beautiful beach! We went in the afternoon and there was absolutely nobody on the beach. There is free roadside parking. The climb down could be a little tricky, as you might slip and fall. So need to be careful when doing that short hike of a few metres.

OMYGOODNESS it is a KILLER hike. Incredibly steep . I was SO exhausted by the time I made it back up but it was no doubt worth every drop of sweat for that scenery at the bottom. Afterwards don't forget to stop by the worlds CUTEST fruit stand.

My favorite beach in Santa Cruz area. 10x better than the main Santa Cruz or Capitola beaches. Beautiful view of the water and cliffside. There’s also a secret beach if you go through to the other side of the tunnel on the left. Does get windy so be prepared for that.
