About Pleasure Point Beach in Santa Cruz, California
Pleasure Point Park is a small park on the bluff above a popular surfing spot in the Live Oak area of Santa Cruz. Climb down the stairs from the park to the beach below, what little there is of it, and don’t expect much beach-wise. Except at low tide, this spot below the bluff will be all wet, but there is a rock shelf to sit on. The surfers don’t mind the lack of sandy beach and will be going out from this spot to a nice break just offshore. Those not surfing can just rest here and watch the surfers from the rocks or from benches and picnic tables in Pleasure Point Park. Officially this double-point sticking out into Monterey Bay is called Soquel Point. The park is located at the intersection of East Cliff Drive and Pleasure Point Drive near 30th Avenue. Street parking can be found on Pleasure Point Drive, but watch for permit-only parking areas on the weekends.
