Nestled between the San Lorenzo River and Santa Cruz Harbor, Seabright Beach—also known as Seabright State Beach—is a beautiful sandy beach with soft light brown sand, located close to the iconic Santa Cruz Beach and Wharf. This half-mile stretch of sandy beach is loved for its scenic views and unique vegetation, including the rare pink sand verbena flower. Seabright Beach is sometimes considered part of the Twin Lakes State Beach, which lies just across the Santa Cruz Harbor.
