Mostly secluded, but we went in the early afternoon and a lot of people were there. Other times I have had it all to myself!! Highly recommend for hanging out and playing games, but not so much for swimming

A hike through Wilder will take you here. Nice beach.

Went on the 2.5 mile coastal loop and spent an hour on this lovely secluded beach. The fern grotto was amazing!

Nicely hidden cute beach. Worth checking out as you are hiking on Wilder to Ohlone. Can see seals from there on a good day. It’s secluded and quiet.

Very cool hidden jem. If youre already at Wilder Ranch, take the time to walk down to this grotto. Well worth the minimal effort.

Beautiful small cut out of beach, not much crowded can spend good hours or a picnic day with kids.

The beach is beautiful and only a couple mile walk.

A fun place for kids to enjoy in the afternoon.

Amazing small coves.. best kept secret in Cruz

Good spot that doesnt harbor too many people at once. Theres no place to actually swim but its a good chill spot

A good place to stop along trial and explore the grotto

Amazing views. Nice quick hike and fairly easy one

Beautiful place...

Very nice getaway spot!

Nice quiet beach in a cove that featured a cave and a view of sunbathing sea lions. A nice hike too.

Lovely, quiet, little beach right off of a trail from Wilder Ranch State Park. The trail down to the beach is very steep, a little overgrown and at times slippery. Not a trail for strollers. There are some small cave like spots and nesting birds.

My little ones loved exploring pirate caves. Beautiful colors and scenery! Would go again!

Beautiful place from which to enjoy the Pacific coast, and an accessible, short home to get there.

Private and secluded

Secluded, sandy, and dramatic. With caves and nooks.

This is part of Wilder Ranch State Park - the fern grotto looks like a cave from the trail which is higher up - didn’t really pay attention to this feature until prompted here by google maps (probably because I’m a local) - so just three stars - but Wilder overall is 5 stars. Great for beach picnics and short bike ride - I think your bike limited on coast side of highway to 5 miles groomed trails but more with single track grass paths.....

A lot of surfers and low tourist. Perfection.

Cute little beach. It was windy the day we went and got sandblasted. Our picnic lunch was a bit crunchy. Check the wind forecast before going. Treacherous hike down a washed out trail to get to the beach. Its fine for able adults, but nerve racking if you have a kid strapped to you. Not too crowded, just a couple other families.

Scenic simple walk, with some mild exploration. Some beaches to walk down to but I would keep the small ones away from the water in most places.

Long walk but worth it. Make sure you have proper attire for the hike. Explore and Adventure!!!

I really like the beach me and my family saw seas tgey were really cute

Beautiful beach, lovely rolling trails. A few wildflowers still in May.

Awesome little beach with a pretty cool cave.

Great place to relax and have a picnic

Hiking to see the sealions :)

Beautiful, quiet, surrounded by cliffs. About 1+ mile easy hike from Hwy1. Parts of it may not be accessible during high tide. Not crowded.

1 to 2 mile hike to get to this beach. If you love your beach private this one is for you.

Nice beach along the Old Landing Cove trail, with pretty cliffs.

Fun spot to visit while walking on the coast. Interesting natural landmark site

Amazing!

The secret beach with the cave is beautiful and exciting.

Good place with pretty good views but not worth 2 mile hike.

A great place to check out while hiking the Ohlone Bluffs from Wilder Ranch

Beautiful place

Great cave!

Beautiful place

Lovely tiny beach. Bring a picnic.

Right now theres a Lot of kelp on the beach, so you cant get down to the water. Wait till some winter storms have cleared it out

One of the many beaches I stopped at heading to San Fran.

Great views

Nice

Amazing views of cliffs and the ocean!

Wild and beautiful

Nice place to relax

Cozy little beach but it has a problem with the amount of flies present during this time of year.

Nice spot.

So beautiful!

Beautiful day!

Small but cute beach
