This article presents its list for what we believe are the best
beaches in California. Of all the beaches California has to offer, we
think these are tops! If you can find better beaches in California, then
we'll eat out hat (metaphorically speaking)!
o Malibu Lagoon
Beach: A beautiful lagoon beach with 22 acres of wetlands, gardens and
sandy beach. It's considered one of the worlds premiere surfing beaches.
On the east side of the Malibu Creek Bridge is the Malibu Pier, which
is excellent for saltwater fishing. On the west side is a nature area.
o
Venice Beach: No trip to Los Angeles would be complete without a trip
to this iconic beach. Street performers, artists and "the beautiful
people" mingle and stroll all the way to Santa Monica along the famous
boardwalk that runs through this inimitable California beach town.
o
El Capitan Beach: This shady, sandy, Santa Barbara beach features rocky
tide pools along El Capitan Creek. It's perfect for swimming, fishing,
surfing, picnicking and camping. A long stairway gives access from the
bluffs to beach and a bike trail connects the park with Refugio State
Beach.
o Ocean Beach: O.B. as the locals call it is a laid-back
beach-community know for its surfers and liberal politics. It is an
eclectic beach community with a leash free "dog beach", a fishing pier,
swimming, surfing and volleyball. It has separate swimming and surfing
zones, which is definitely a good idea.
o Rio Del Mar Beach: This
long, sandy beach is found in the town of Aptos, California, in Santa
Cruz County. It features fire rings and a barbecue and picnic area and
is a popular summer beach. It is also the home to the "cement boat" a
long stranded freighter ship.
o Muir Beach: This beach is less
than a half hour drive from San Francisco down scenic Hwy I. It's one of
the most glorious regions of Northern California in the Golden Gate
National Recreation Area. Fishing, surfing and campfires are allowed,
and there are many coastal trails above the beach for hikers to explore.
o
Black Sands Beach at Shelter Cove: This splendid black sand beach is a
great place for Whale watching. Located north of the small hamlet of
Shelter Cove in a remote region of the "Lost Coast", it's the trailhead
for the famous King Range hike. This is a day only beach, so campers
will have to head for the mountains.
o La Jolla's Beaches: La
Jolla means "the jewel," a fitting name for the precious beaches of La
Jolla's coast. Surfers prefer Windansea beach, harbor seals love the
Children's Pool, La Jolla Shores is popular for swimming and sunbathing,
while the Cove is a favorite snorkeling spot.
