75 reviews for Natural Bridges State Beach
Went here today with a friend after months of wanting to visit but just had no time. After driving to the beach, the state beach is fairly easy to find. There is a small free 20-minute parking area before you turn right and into the state beach, where a day-use fee of $10 is required. To support the state beach, we opted to enter the SB and wasn't regretful. The area within the state beach area is home to monarch butterflies in the biggest concentration in the western USA during their temporary stay here during the late summer months. The visitors' center is packed with gifts, shirts, hats and more, all sporting the shape of this butterfly - I've never seen in one place so many butterflies that weren't real!! In the same building of the visitor's center is a small room showing interesting information of the area, animals that can be seen and of course, everything you'd ever want to know about these butterflies. A short walk (tours given too) talks into the butterfly sanctuary and if you're lucky, you'll actually SEE these wonderful insects! Not easy to see... they were all above in very tall trees when we visited, though the few we saw made very nice images. Restrooms located next to the visitor's center, and also at the far end of the VC parking area, toward the beach. From the parking area, you can take another short walk to the beach filled with many picnic areas in full view of the natural rock arch that gives this state beach its name.
PHOTOGRAPHICALLY SPEAKING: If you have a zoom, take it. You'll need a long zoom in order to get almost any decent picture of the butterflies as they rest/sleep so far away, high up in the trees. Look for them as they flutter from one tree to another, then look for the clumps of butterflies massed together. If you use a small point & shoot (P&S) camera with optical AND digital zoom, do NOT use the digital zoom as you'll get poorer quality pictures as it is magnified off the optical magnification. USE ONLY the optical zoom! Because of the surrounding trees in this area the light-level will be close to nothing so be prepared to handhold in a very steady stance to get good pixs, or take a tripod. Not only are the butterflies a main attraction, but be sure to get your camera and its owner to the beach, where you'll marvel at the lovely sandstone rocks at the water's edge, plus the great natural arch in the water. The rocks have the most interesting lines and formation pattern.
NOTE to PARENTS: While we visited this quiet area, many kids in full company of their parents screamed, stomped and made a LOT of UNnecessary noise. I made a comment to one father which was ignored, and another woman made a comment to another father, who laughing told his loud kid to get closer to him though the noise continued. The butterflies are sensitive to noise and vibrations caused by loud screaming and noise... please respect others and YOUR time and interest by explaining ahead of time to your children before your arrival, so everyone can have a good experience. Remember also your children's actions and behavior reflect on you as a parent, so please have everyone on their best behavior so nobody will be frowning and talking behind your back of how bad/good you are as a parent, as this was overheard often today in reference to the loud kids and non-caring parents. We even saw many kids around in the bush outside the walkway - an off-limits no-no but their parents didn't care at all.

I always tried to imagine, as I stood on the cliffside, with ocean mists spraying me, what the bridges looked like 100 years ago. I wish I'd been around to see 'em.
I am not the biggest fan of this beach, but I love playing in the tide pools when the tide is low. It's so interesting!
My boyfriend and I used to always get some burritos or burgers and drive out to the lot and watch the waves while eating. It was quite romantic at times, especially when the moon was full and you could be out at midnight and still see everything so clearly.
I also once hid out in the trees with my buddies burning some buds. That was a fun time.

Came here on a photo excursion with one of my friends. We walked along the Monarch Butterfly trail and eventually made our way over to the beach and the bridge. (it's bridge now, not bridges, as the 2nd bridge collapsed).
Plenty of parking, beautiful trail, beautiful beach. Now if only the sun could have made a showing.

If you desire a simple beach with abundant parking, picnic tables, clean bathrooms and a decent-sized crowd, this is the place for you!
I spent today, Labor Day 2009, with my immediate family and we had a really nice time! Great scenic drive on West Cliff Dr. on the way to the beach. We didn't play much in the water since it was cold, but we ventured out and played in the tide pools. We sat in a nice spot on the sand, but there is an area for picnic tables in case you'd rather sit at one.
Things to consider-
Plenty of parking, especially if you arrive mid-morning, but there is a fee of $10.
Arrive around mid-morning if you want to avoid the rush. By 1:30 pm'ish, the parking lot was full and folks had to park elsewhere.
No dogs allowed - but we brought the newest member of our family, Koko! Fortunately, we were caught by the lifeguard staff as we were leaving...oops!

The World According to Noelle
~Allergic Girl's Guide to Life~
One of my favorite places to go in the entire bay area. The beach area is rather large- great for those warm and sunny days (throw out a beach blanket and have a picnic). I love the tide pool area. I remember coming here in elementary school on field trips. In the Fall the Monarchs can be spotted in the eucalyptus grove which is an amazing and beautiful site. Took a Sunday drive out to Natural Bridges. It was cool and the sun was about to set. On the beach we spotted people taking wedding photos, there were some people surfing, others running, a few people walking, families just ocean gazing. On hot summer days, one will note plenty of people swimming to cool off. Natural Bridges is a great place to relax on the beach, swim, explore the tide pools, gaze at the butterflies, picnic or bbq!

The BF and I had a wonderful time here. Perfect-for-kite-flying breeze, amazing view, crashing waves, numbing water, soft sand and free parking (if you park along Oroville Ave.)! There's a small section of beach on the other side of the cliff, so when the tide goes down you can wander on over there--it's like your own private beach, just don't do anything nasty, there are kids here!
If you ever drop by Santa Cruz, this is the beach to visit. The sand here is so much easier on the toes than that nasty Beach Boardwalk dirt. Keep riding this summer out till you can't no mo'!!

Beautiful beach, friendly park staff, decent restroom facilities with outdoor showers. Dog-friendly on the paved areas only, which is about as much flexibility in that regard as can be expected. Clean beach with a minimum of trash and broken glass (found none of the latter so far).
Being from "Butterfly Town USA," I can say with great confidence that Natural Bridges has more monarch butterflies than anywhere. They put PG's butterflies to shame. What's especially nice about the Natural Bridges monarch santcuary is the lack of docents. I like to come and watch the butterflies. Not to be told what not to do, or hear every shred of butterfly info known to man. Unfortunately we have docents in Pacific Grove, and they drive me nuts. The Natural Bridges also lets you get pretty close to the butterflies, and watch them from underneath. The PG sanctuary is partially roped off, so you have to look for butterflies with a pair of binoculars. *sigh* Oh well, I've always enjoyed my visits to Natural Bridges either in monarch season or off-season. :-D
I got married here fourteen years ago today. It was always one of my favorite places. It's beautiful, and the site/parking was free (I don't think that's still true) which made it easy on the wedding guests. My now-ex and I used to go back every six months to see the place where we exchanged our vows. It's a can't-miss place to go if you love scenic coastal beauty.
The marriage didn't last, but the wedding itself was gorgeous! There's so much natural beauty there, that we didn't have to do any decorating. No way would I consider the beach over by the Boardwalk for an event like that, while it certainly has its own appeal.
Somehow I've never managed to see monarchs here, so I guess I've always gone when they're not there. Or I've focused on the ocean. Even when I used to live in the area. Oh well, I will sometime. It's beautiful and peaceful enough to go whether it's butterfly season or not.
I love the pelicans, the sand, the sky, the water, the natural architecture, and photo ops. This is a great spot for being by yourself or with people you care about.

Natural Bridges is my favorite beach, hands down. I don't care if it's not some secluded, hella secret beach tucked away on highway 1 or whatever-- it's beautiful.
My mom took me here for the first time a few years ago and this place made me go from not caring for the beach at all, to seeing it as something that is peaceful and beautiful and fun. Since that fateful day, I've been coming back ever since.
No other beach that I've been to offers so much to do conveniently all in one spot (hiking the cliff things, touching the sea anemones, butterfly hiking, hiking where the tall grass is, beach adventure fun times, going to that magical tree). My baby cousin and I like to walk all the way down to the "end" of the cliff things and tan and swim there. This is our happy place.
It's especially wonderful when the sky is blue on a hot weekday afternoon when not many people are there and the waves are crashing against the cliffs.
So f montara or seacliff-- go here!

This is a really nice beach, especially considering the ones around this area. It has a lot to offer: beautiful views, smooth sand, nice hiking areas, picnic spots with bbq pits, and tide pools! Even the road here is scenic, and a great place for a run.
Just steer clear of the lagoon; it's infested with bugs and bacteria.
Did you know that you can go to the OTHER side of the "natural bridges" if you get here super early?
This is one of my favorite beaches.
It's usually pretty chill, and a couple times, it has just been me, the waves, and the pelicans.
Don't miss the awesome tidepooling.
And never miss the birds!

I was shooting black and white a week before the "bridge" collapsed in storm surge. I wish I had those photographs to share. It's worth a trip just to see the monarchs and, to include a picnic would make for a "complete" day. Bring some walking shoes as there are many trails and paths. There is parking although it can get busy when the weather behaves.

very nice beach/tide pool combo spot. it can get windy at times, which just means you should bring a kite :P
here's a tip: don't pay the fee to park inside, just find some of the ample street parking and walk in.
i've never seen the millions of monarchs that apparently come here every year to mate, but it's supposed to be beautiful.

We came here with false information from a doggie-guide book stating the entire beach and park area was dog friendly. Unfortunately, that is only partly true.
Dogs must be leashed and are only allowed in the parking lot area and the picnic area. They're not allowed on the trails or on the beach, which on that particular day was FILLED with children. And since we couldn't explore any further than the parking lot, we were only able to see one natural bridge.
Overall, this place didn't do much for a natural high.
So beautiful, in the day or night. At night, this used to be my spot for some alone time, especially on a clear night with the full moon. The feeling is indescribable. I can only suggest that if you get the chance to do it, just go. The people that go here seemed more chill and willing to just have a good time than other SC beaches. I also love how the sand is just right.
It can be hard to find parking sometimes. Don't bother with parking in the lot! Park on the street and walk your ass to the beach. You'll enjoy it much more. At night, the Santa Cruz Police get hella anal about being in the beach at night. WTF? Leave me alone already.

This beach is popular, but popular for a reason. It's a nice spot to check out sea anemones/ tide pools and the scenery is pretty. There is a natural arch and sea cave, just don't go in them or the lifeguards will flip. The tide can be dangerous.

We went for some monarchs and didn't see too many but it was really gorgeous nonetheless. The beach is beautiful and really nice for reading and book and wading. It is much more low key than the beaches further north and also super close to Santa Cruz.
It also only takes about a half hour to do the walk, so it is a nice mellow stop on the way to some wineries (like Bonny Doon) wihch are tucked into a little complex once you turn off Mission to get to the park.

Ahhh, what is more perfect to do on a sunny warm winter day?
Lay on the beach, chill, and eat food!!!
Came here this afternoon when it was 70+ degrees (some winter!) and it was glorious. Not too crowded on a Monday afternoon, but I can imagine it being crowded on the weekends.
The drive along Cliff was very scenic and gorgeous on a day like today. No clouds, slight breeze, warm sun that wasn't too hot.
I advise NOT to pay for parking in the "official lot" --- try to find street parking to save yourself $8.

I've been here many times growing up and the place hasn't changed a bit. Plenty of tables and parking and decently cleaned bathrooms (just no paper towels or soap or hot water). It's $8 to park inside. It's a clean beach- not much trash around that I could see. I'll definitely be back.
Basking birds on bridge.

I have been to this beach many, many times. I have been as an adult and as a child. I have made sand castles on this beach. I have BBQed on this beach. I have drank beer on this beach. I have "parked" at this beach. I have been at this beach in the rain. I have seen a dead elephant seal at this beach. It was smelly.
This beach is beautiful, but sometimes crowded. See it at least once to experience the coolness of the geological formation that gives it its name, and do it soon before it erodes and falls down. Make sure to check out the tide pools, which do not get less cool as you get older.

We parked right across the street from this beach. It was a beautiful Sunday. The birds were chirping, the sky was beuatiful blue, and I was with the man that I love; my Texan.
We went to the beach to relax and enjoy the sunny day. We walked in the sand, threw sand at each other, and sat on the rocks enjoying the beautiful day. The beach is serene, calming, and the ocean waters are mesmerizing. I'm sitting enclosed within my Texan's grasp and realize at that particular moment, that I felt more protected and loved and secure and at peace with him, then I had felt with my ex in Maui Hawaii (yes the most beautiful of places on earth). I enjoyed that hour we took in utter peace and harmony. Our surroundings encompassing our every senses, and my love for him gradually growing with each wave the tide brought in. That little expedition woke me up to the fact that I was with a very good and Christian man.
I HEART IT. Enough reviews, I will write a haiku:
This beach relaxes me
It is an escape to peace
And I can be calm

After reading the reviews and checking out the website I was really excited to spend my day off here. My bf and I arrived at around noon and well... we saw everything in an hour (at least i think we saw everything?).
The view no doubt is gorgeous. Parking wasn't too bad, we parked along the street with no trouble at all. There are trails all around, some with mini paths to let you sit on the cliffs and just zone out. I thought that was pretty cool but on the flip side (maybe im just twisted) i kept thinking that someone could just jump off the cliff at any moment and we'd be witnesses so I kept getting freaked out. lol.
The beach itself is pretty small. There were only a few people laid out on the sand and it already looked cramped. I wanted to check out the bridges so we walked along side the water. Geez! SOOO COLD AND WINDY! I thought I picked a bad beach day but an hour later I laid out on the beach at the Boardwalk and got super toasted. Just my luck right?!
I would come here for one of those dates you have with someone where you need to drop a bomb on them (i kissed another guy while you were away or OMG i've been hiding my feelings from you all these years etc) because the view is great and there's enough privacy to freak out and not have people stare at you. If you get bored it's a short drive to the coffee shops and the boardwalk.

One of the quieter, smaller beaches. Nice view, not for want in parking. There are trails you can walk that lead up to a butterfly area, so nice for a little hike.
It seems to me there was a bit more debris on this beach compared to some, though.

--It's nice to go in the late morning, when it's sunny but hasn't become crowded yet.
--The picnic area has drinking fountains.

In honor of Beth's ROTD, I too will review Natural Bridges. Parks are my only expception to non-food reviews. :)
I have a serious fascination with sea life. I think my calling was to be a marine biologist but I didn't hear about Scripps until I was half way through college! Ask me anything about Sharks. You can't pull me away from the TV when anything marine related is on. I think it's b/c I'm a water sign. hehe.
Natural Bridges is the first beach I take ALL my out of town visitors to. I took my co worker from India here and he was amazed by its sheer beauty and of course NATURAL BRIDGES. The tide pools are awesome. You can spend hours just staring at all the starfish and crabs swimming around. It's a pretty cool beach to relax and sunbathe. I don't surf here but swimming is pretty safe if you stay on the main beach side. Don't swim on the other side as the currents and waves get pretty intense and dangerous.
There are picnic benches and ample parking in and around the beach. Check out the visitors center if you can. Such a wonderful summer time hangout for the entire familia! Don't forget your kites!

July 2004
We drive down from San Francisco to the former college town. I've tried to explain the mythos of the tall trees, the deer that watched me walk to class, the bridge from Lost Boys that I've walked across sometimes sober so many times. It's my strange and lovely little coastal milestone and I want to share it with you.
One afternoon, we visit Natural Bridges. Unfortunately, we're too early for butterfly migration season. It is summer in Northern California, so a healthy glow bears down as we sit on the sand, shield ourselves from the wind, and watch the birds gambol along on the eroded rock bridge. We steal shy glances at each other. The seals bark out greetings and questions to each other. The whimsical part thinks they could be saying, "This one! This one! This one! Watch out? No! This one!"
How could I know? Nobody can predict the future. What could I do?
All the sand has since been brushed out of the car. The car hasn't been used in months. Nobody took pictures. Like you said, "It's like it never happened." Evaporated into the realm of legends and nostalgia, kind of like the butterflies that we never saw.

The ocean is more colorful, the waves a bit wilder, the lines on the rocks beautiful. There are places to walk among trees and birds, as there are places to walk on rocks; to peek into tidepools. There are places to walk in the sand by the ocean. And there seems to be more wildlife here. Kids of all ages come, and it's pretty easy to get to.

I've been coming here since I was a kid, and I STILL love it. Whether you want to hang out on the beach and play in the surf, or check out the tide pools on the north end of the park, or even hike around the trails above the beach, it's the place for you! The best time of the year, in my opinion is October, when the monarchs migrate through... it's like a land of fairies! Taking the wooden plank pathway down to the main observation area is like a wonderland of pixies... the monarchs float above you, they cluster on the eucalyptus branches and they sometimes even fornicate on the deck right in front of you!! Crazy butterflies!! Very educational, of course, and not at all lurid or disgusting. ;-) It's butterfly love!
They also have a restroom and outdoor shower if you feel like swimming. Just be careful out there. I've been caught out on the other side of the surf before and it's really hard to swim back in without getting pummeled by the waves. Lots of sand in the ears, hair and (unfortunately) OTHER parts of your anatomy. Ugh. So be careful if you swim out there!
But bring your picnic and go enjoy the great outdoors there! You'll be so glad you did!

One of our family's favorite places to visit by far! This state park/beach welcomes all to it's sandy shore with a wide variety to please even the pickiest person. There are the picnic tables & bbq sets with ocean and park views. An educational center that does a great job of introducing the denizens of the local waters to visitors as well as the *other* visitor ~ the monarch butterfly! Just outside this visitors center is a chicken wire fenced in spot harboring milkweed - food and nursery to the monarch.
The Monarch Butterfly Preserve, adjacent to the visitors center, is where you can take a wooden bridge pathway down to the bottom of a eucalyptus grove which serves as the home to the monarch butterflies from mid-October through the end of February. It's so cool looking up at these towering trees and you can see large bundles of monarchs clustering to keep warm. When spring comes along you will be greeted with monarchs flying lazily all around delighting kids and adults alike ~ can't wait till it warms up to experience this again! :0)
If you park at the upper area where the visitors center is, you will have a steep walk down to the beach (not handicap friendly). It's quite a hike to the water's edge from here or even from the lower parking lot area (limited spaces so park at the upper lot).
Once you are at the water's edge, you will see the reason why it's called "Natural Bridges" although there is no longer a land bridge due to erosion (see the photo, on the official website, showing a land bridge which does not exist anymore). Body surfing is popular amongst the tween to teen set and just romping around in the water is popular with all. The sandy beach is so wide and deep it can accommodate a large number of visitors.
If laying on the sand is not your cup of tea or too sloth-like, you can climb over the rocky formations to the right (if you are facing the ocean) and check out the tide pools filled with sea creatures of all kinds ~ starfish, little crabs, sea anemones to name a few. Since we've been going here from the early 1980s, we have seen the changes in the rock formations. All the same, its still amazing to climb way over to the other side so looking back at the beach area, folks look like ants! With the ocean right there, there are no words to describe the beauty of this environment....
Today there was a high surf advisory so Natural Bridges was closed due to storm conditions however the area along W. Cliff Drive was the front row seat to the show nature was putting on ~ high tide and waves that were towering! We enjoyed a long walk along the ocean with a peek of sapphire blue sky....my 100th review and it was so worth it!

Finally made it out here today. I can't believe I haven't been to this gem until today but although this beach isn't very big it' beautiful and the surf was pretty nice today.
The drive up the coast to here is awesome and we saw about 50 sailboats out enjoying the sunday afternoon.
The water is actually pretty clear in a few parts of the beach and parking is free just outside the beach (why anyone would pay 6 bucks to save themselves 100 yard walk I'll never know.)
I will be back for sure this is gonna be one of my favorite spots from here on out. The lifeguard says the surf gets pretty nasty sometimes (maybe not good for my kids) but today it was absolutley perfect. It got pretty cold and windy about 3:00 but it's so early in the season I guess that's expected.
Go check it out if you haven't been there's plenty to explore as well if you don't have kids with ya.

i went here as a kid in middle school... to go look at the tidepools, starfishes, prickley sea creatures and what not..
going back yesterday was sure a different experience.. i have never been there to watch the sunset.. it was def. beautiful!
one of the reasons why i like going here, is because majority of the sand is clean, no kelp no seawood.. you see a sealion or two in the water if you pay enough attention that is.
its more on the quiet side as well, so great for relaxing and being in the moment..

I think the one thing you don't know about this beach, is somewhere along West cliff sidewalk, there is a nude beach portion .. Yes! It is at one of the bends toward the land, and there will be this huge sewer pipe sticking out of the cliff. Just look at your own discretion.
I love the "natural bridge" and it is the most popular thing to take a picture of. The sand is not too fine, but slightly course. There are always a lot of people here in the summer. Its really fun to bogey board here too.
Don't try to look for the sunrise, because it doesn't go toward this location ... and its not even noticeable on a cloudy day, doh!
While a bit small and not really good for laying out, this beach has beautiful views of the bridge and Monterey (on a good day) and you can walk around on the rocks and watch surfers and sea otters (when they are feeding).
If you have a chance to go November through January (or so), check out the Monarchs at the state park. They are beautiful and really quite amazing when there are so many of them.
Natty Bridges, the apex of a West Cliff walking tour. I'll start with my favorite part of it: It's beautiful. The view is remarkable, and it's really the best spot to catch the sunset along the drive (http://www.yelp.com/bi...).
The parking lot and area overlooking the beach are great vantage points. And if you prefer a little solitude or want to go check out some tide pools, the rock formations at the far side are great for climbing over (and painful but passable, if you're without shoes). The picnic tables on the hill are always popular. And if you're there in season, the butterflies in the park behind the beach are an awesome sight. Massive cones of butterflies drape down from tree branches, so dense you can't really tell what it is until they flutter away.
And of course, the beach. It gets a little crowded at peak times but it's also pretty well shielded from the breeze, unlike some of the more northerly coves.

WOot Fun in the sun w/ my friends. What can get better than that.
To sum it up we built 2 HUGE holes, like from the movie "Holes" ( http://www.yelp.com/bi... ). The reason my friend was building the hole was because she wanted to dig to the other side of the world and see hot chicks in Japan or China. Unfortinately that did not happen....nor did she spot any hot chicks at the beach. Luckily for me I had a VERY smokin hot chick w/ me at the time being. Too bad we're broken up now. =p. Anyways we found a starfish and some kinda worm w/ a hole for its mouth. Maybe it was a baby lamprey or something. All I know is that it either came from Phylum Annelida or Phylum platyhelminthes. Hehe I love it when my bio kicks in. [if i'm wrong correct me].
See funny thing is...when we found the starfish I wanted to take a pic of it, but my camera was back at the base so I ran back there, and I didn't really see them. But I took a pic of the cave [I was such a dork, I didn't even notice that the pic I took were of my friends]. So I thought they went to explore the other side of the beach of the rocks and I ran all the way there and climbed the sharp rocks I even climbed to the other side of a crevice to find them. I did not find them and was thinking DANGGIT I'm LOST!!!!!! Luckily for me my knight in shining armor [shes shining because shes really light skinned] found me and boy was I happy again. Hehhe.
I had a really fun time at this beach. There are a lot of things to explore here. Hanging out w/ my friends on the beach is always enjoyable.

beautiful, but usually more windy and cold than the other beaches on any given day.
