Fun Facts

The beach is part of the Pacific Flyway, attracting over 200 species of birds, making it a prime spot for birdwatching enthusiasts.

The park is home to one of the largest remaining coastal wetlands in California, providing a crucial habitat for diverse wildlife.

The park often experiences seasonal flooding due to its proximity to the Santa Clara River, which can lead to temporary closures.

The area was once inhabited by the Chumash people, who utilized the rich resources of the coastal environment.

The park offers a campground with 174 sites, providing a rustic experience close to nature.

Efforts are ongoing to restore and protect the beach's natural habitats, particularly the wetlands and dunes.
