natural-bridges | 2017-11-26T01:56:21.000Z | recYrDpVivWe2GDoJ | Santa Cruz | This flat site is a sloping, nicely zoned mussel bed with lots of species hidden in the nooks and crannies. This site can get lots of foot traffic so be prepared if monitoring on a weekend. If you visit in the late-fall or winter, don’t forget to check out the Monarch Preserve for the yearly migration of up to 100,000 monarch butterflies! This is a busy place. It has a picturesque rock arch in the surf and an excellent sandy beach. Come here at low tide and you’ll get an added bonus with tide pools that are exposed on the western shoreline. Docents are available throughout the year to give you guided tours of Natural Bridges tide pools. These pools are only visible at low tide so check out the tide forecast before you go. While you’re there, snap some iconic photos of the famous “natural bridge” that gives the park its name. These photos can be especially beautiful at sunset, and the “bridge” can make an excellent background for portraits too. To ensure the best tide pool viewing, check the tide charts before you go. If you’re timing is off, the Visitor Center also has an aquarium that displays tidepool critters. Either way, you’ll return home with a renewed appreciation for life forms both squishy and spiny. This Santa Cruz beach is great for viewing all sorts of sea life as well as the amazing, naturally formed rock bridge out in the water. you head north along the beach you can climb the rocks to access the tide pools. Also nearby is the Seymour Marine Discovery Center, another great place to learn about Bay Area marine life. | us | 36.9491477 | -122.0610663 | Natural Bridges State Beach | us_pacific_coast | America/Los_Angeles | http://www.californiabeaches.com/beach/natural-bridges-state-beach/ | Natural Bridges is located at the north end of the town of Santa Cruz. Take Swift Street west from Highway 1, then West Cliff Drive north until it ends at the state beach. The tide pools are located on the side of the beach opposite the “natural bridges.” Head north from the state beach parking lot and scramble over a rocky shelf and you will find yourself surrounded by pools of many shapes and sizes. There is also a more accessible route through the mobile home park. Natural Bridges tide pools are on the western edge of Santa Cruz. The best way to reach the site is through the De Anza mobile home community. From the Deleware Avenue entrance, walk down Cascade Drive and follow the path past the pond to the small beach. Once at the beach, head to the right and cross the first two rocky platforms to the site on the third platform. The site is past the area directly under the gazebo. The walk takes about 10 minutes. Please respect the privacy of the De Anza residents and keep noise to a minimum. | 2531 West Cliff Dr. Santa Cruz, | There is a porta potty at the end of Delaware Avenue and several buildings have public restrooms at the main entrance to the State Beach. | Yes | State beach parking is $10, or park just before the beach entrance on Swanton Blvd. for free if there’s a spot Park at the end of Delaware Avenue, by the entrance to the De Anza mobile home community. | ["California State Park", "California State Marine Conservation Area"] | Yes | (831) 423-4609 | Yes | 36.9517807 | -122.0574584 | checked | Removal of any living thing is illegal. | Contact the State Beach before taking a group to the intertidal platforms so that the rangers are kept informed and your group does not conflict with any docent-led tours.

opal-cliffs | 2020-08-31T04:39:20.000Z | recyyclyRwDDg0OGp | Santa Cruz | This is a very flat intertidal area. Because the platforms are so flat, only a small rise in the water level floods them. Watch the rising tide, as that will determine the amount of time you will have to work the site. Also, the soft rocks of Opal Cliffs contain numerous fossils, including whale bones. These can become exposed and eroded free, then scattered about in the intertidal. If you are lucky, you might see some! However, unlike Soquel Avenue, the Opal Cliffs site did not appear to be affected by the county’s sewage discharge in the early 1970s. Therefore it could be used as a comparison site to the recovery of the soquel Avenue site once the discharge was stopped in 1976. | us | 36.9599223 | -121.9638587 | Opal Cliffs | us_pacific_coast | America/Los_Angeles | To reach the site, walk down the stairs at the intersection of 41st Avenue and East Cliff Drive and straight out to the seaward edge of the outcrop. It is the northwest section of the outer platform, just beyond the channel that parallels the shore and 49 meters from the outcrop. | There is a public restroom in the parking lot at the intersection of 41st Avenue and East Cliff Drive | Nearby | Park near the intersection of 41st Avenue and East Cliff Drive. | collecting of any sort is illegal without a CA DFW scientific collecting permit. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
rockview-drive | 2020-08-31T04:34:44.000Z | recB48WHS55mMiBqZ | Santa Cruz | This is a large rip rap site of big boulders that leads to a flat surfgrass-covered area at the bottom of the vertical transect. Surfers use the area around this site frequently | us | 36.9542312 | -121.9746314 | Rockview Drive | us_pacific_coast | America/Los_Angeles | There are three ways to get to the site: The first access route is at the ocean end of Rockview Drive; simply clamber over the rocks to the beach or go down the stairs between the houses on the eastern side of the road. This will place you on the site where our transect runs across the boulder riprap. The second access route is down the stairs on the ocean side of Pleasure Point Drive, halfway between Rockview Drive and East Cliff Drive. The stairs lead to some boulder riprap next to a sandy beach. Walk west across the sandy beach to the site. The third access route is down the surfer trail just east of the 32nd Avenue-East Cliff Drive intersection. That places you on the sand-covered platform from where you can walk west on the sand and rocks, past the second access route and on to the Rockview Drive site. | There is a portable toilet at the intersection of 32nd Avenue and East Cliff Drive. | Nearby | This site is located between the cities of Santa Cruz and Capitola. The Rockview Drive site is off the western tip of Soquel Point, below the end of Rockview Drive.

soquel-avenue | 2020-08-31T04:39:03.000Z | recZ0FVUrLcmIf25e | Santa Cruz | This is a very flat intertidal bench area. Because the platforms are so flat, only a small rise in the water level floods them. Moreover, as the tide comes in it fills the channels first. You should watch the rising tide or you will need to wade back through quite deep water in the channels! | us | 36.9549897 | -121.9709407 | Soquel Avenue | us_pacific_coast | America/Los_Angeles | This site is located between the cities of Santa Cruz and Capitola, directly off the end of 33rd Avenue, looking southeast. The site is off the eastern tip of Soquel Point on an extensive low-zone platform covered with surfgrasses. The site can only be reached by walking when the tide is at or below –1.0 feet; such low tides occur in the afternoons of late fall and winter and the mornings of late spring and summer. To reach the outer-most platform and the sampling site, clamber down the surfer trail at the 33rd Avenue / East Cliff Drive intersection. That places you on the sand-covered platform from where you can walk out on the platforms. You can circumvent the deeper portions of the channels by going around to the east, and then out to the sampling site by walking west on the outer-most platform. | There is a portable toilet at the intersection of 32nd Avenue and East Cliff Drive. | Nearby | Park near the 33rd Avenue / East Cliff Drive intersection of 33rd Avenue and East Cliff Drive. | collecting of any sort is illegal without a CA DFW scientific collecting permit. | http://www.dfg.ca.gov/wildlife/nongame/research_permit/scp/scp_aplic_procs.html | -1.0 | 33rd Ave | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
wilder-ranch | 2020-08-31T04:34:29.000Z | recWZGrZVAnl1r9ss | Santa Cruz | This is a flat area that can be difficult to get to, however it is an incredible site to monitor. Little to no foot traffic occurs here, other than the occasional surfer or beachcomber. | us | 36.9539906 | -122.089546 | Wilder Ranch | us_pacific_coast | America/Los_Angeles | It’s a 20-30 min walk to the tidepools. Walk toward the ocean on the dirt road, crossing the railroad tracts and the fields until you reach the edge of the cliff. DO NOT drive on the dirt road; it is used by the farmers and is often muddy and easy to get mired down in. Once the edge of the cliff is reached, go to the right (west) along the dirt road until you come to the top of Strawberry Cove. Walk down a well-worn trail to Strawberry Cove Beach. Turn right, cross a large sand-scoured rock and a small sandy cove, and climb up on the narrow, sloping platform that is bare at the top. The platform has a large mussel bed in the middle and a small surfgrass bed near the bottom. | There are no public restrooms near the site; the closest are at the Wilder Ranch State Park’s entrance gate. | Nearby | This site, north of Santa Cruz, is just north of Wilder Ranch State Park’s main entrance. Park along Highway 1 at 2101 Coast Road, which is between the entrance to the Wilder Ranch State Park and Dimeo Lane. There is a small frontage road where you can park off the highway on the coast side. Be certain to park with enough room for any farm vehicles to still get by. | ["California State Park"] | The Wilder Ranch site is on the eastern side of Strawberry Cove in Wilder Ranch State Park. Before going to the site, be sure to contact the park rangers at (831) 423-9703. |
