Twin Lakes State Beach is a beach Santa Cruz located in United States.
East Cliff Dr (7th Ave) Santa Cruz , CA 95062 United States
A nice alternate beach , easily accessible. Not a ton of parking , but the extra parking lot one block up 7th St is a big help when its a bit crowded . Oh, & the coffee shop nearby is good stuff.
Credit for stand-up paddle boarding here goes to local supermodel Marisa Miller who has her own line of boards. Perfect place for getting out on the water and some surf is easy enough for beginners. Read more
Usually very busy and hard to find parking but beautiful especially for a nighttime bonfire .
One of my favorite beaches . Family friendly and good food right in the beach front .
Hard to find parking , depending on when you go. Lots of residential streets, but parking on them is permit only the first weekend in April through Labor Day from 11 am - 5 pm on weekends and holidays.
Perfect beach ..never too crowded !
So 4sq sez twin lakes is a surf spot ...that's only true a few times a year at best
Excellent beach for dogs and kids.
Visit the pelicans by the fish shop (at the harbor ) and watch the sea lions and otters near the lighthouse .
Sand, view , quiet

The topography of this beach is totally different almost every time I visit. - Marc Kleinmaier
Bring the kids out at low tide for some awesome tide pool walks. Sea urchins, crabs, octopus and if you're lucky some seal, dolphin and sea otters spottings. - Jason Shellen

Pacific Swordfish with parmesan crust (served with steamed vegetables and artichoke risotto) was the best fish I had in years - not to mention the breath-taking view and excellent service!!! - Guilherme Chapiewski
