Looking to get outside this weekend? Visit Natural Bridges State Beach for a tidepool tour! Explore the tidepools with the help of a naturalist guide, and fall in love with this diverse environment! Check out our bio to sign up for this a tidepool tour on Saturday, May 4th, at 2pm. You may even get to meet the star of this post's image: the lined shore crab. . Lined shore crabs are the most common crab in our tidepools, but their quick movements and apt camouflage make them hard to spot! Our lined shore crabs are detritivores, meaning they eat dead matter in our tidepools. The environment would be a lot more stinky and gross without our favorite little cleanup crew! . Rain cancels tidepool tours due to safety. This tour is free. Parking in the day-use lot is $10. Visitor's Center Hours: Friday-Monday 11-4. Questions? Call us at: (831)423-4609 or email us at: [email protected] . . . . (Image Description: A lined shore crab sits on a rock. The crab has dark stripes across. The crab's claws and legs are bright red and it's body is green.) 📍 Uypi Land #NaturalBridges #NaturalBridgesStateBeach #ThatsMyPark #CAStateParks #SantaCruz #SantaCruzStateBeaches #VisitSantaCruz #ThingsToDoInSantaCruz #CaliforniaBeaches #ExploreSantaCruz #RecreateResponsibly #NatureLovers #GetOutside #CaliforniaMPAs #CalifMPAs #DiveIntoMPAs #MarineProtectedArea #MPAMonday #MontereyBay #WestCliffDrive #SantaCruzLife #CaliforniaCoast #ProtectWhatYouLove #YayMPA #GetInYourMPA #KnowYourMPA #ExploreTheCoast #TidePools #OceanOptimism

Another Habitat Restoration Day at Natural Bridges State Beach? You betcha! Come join us April 20th on Saturday and start off your Earth Day weekend by removing invasive plants with us. 🌿🌎🌿 Thistle and hemlock seeds can last up to 7 years in the soil. Removing these invasive plants now when they are small means fewer in the future. With combined effort, we can accomplish a lot. Please bring your water bottle. If you have gloves, a trowel, or a dandelion puller please bring that too! If not no worries we will provide equipment for you.

Monday was just one of those perfect Santa Cruz days. Weather great, pups & walks great, and kind human interactions. On West Cliff at Steamers, a sweet young man Joseph, was selling books at an outdoor table, and I bought one. The book is called Ode to Travel, by local artist, photographer, chef, Patrick Trefz. @patricktrefz While looking at the book, Joseph called Patrick on his cell, and said, hey there’s a lady who wants to buy your book, can you swing over and sign it? Within 10 minutes, Patrick rides up on his bike with a Sharpie. 👏👏 What an absolute treat to talk with both of these men, Joseph and Patrick. They made an already great day better. For a few moments I liked people just as much as dogs. 😊 Great book, and you too can get it. #sitwalkandwag #nice #bestpups #kind #gratitude #westcliffdrive #santacruzdogs #localartist #odetotravel

My precious daughter Danesa sang to me on my birthday as she and our son-in-law Brent joined us for lunch in Mountain View. That morning, and the day before, Lois and I took two of our favorite walks through the Redwood grove in Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park and along West Cliff Drive in Santa Cruz. . .

No ranking dos 10 lugares mais lindos que já visitei na vida(até agora), Santa Cruz, na Califórnia, ocupa a posição 6. Este lugar não foi planejado. Em uma Road Trip com minha irmã e duas colegas, passamos só para descansar e dar uma olhada. Não imaginávamos o paraíso que encontraríamos. Foi uma grande surpresa 😍 . #tbt #california #estadosunidos #usa #roadtrip #aupair #aupairlife #aupairadventures #trip #viagem #beach #intercambio #exchangestudent #exchangeprogram #westcliffdrive

I’m not sure if I’ve shared this photo before but I stare at it every day as my phone wallpaper so I am sharing it again! This is by far my favorite hawk. It’s a very very dark morph Red-tailed hawk. I love red tails and have always been fascinated by their color morphs. I started seeing a dark morph in my local park over ten years ago, but then this one also appeared which was even darker than the last. Since it likes to hang out just a mile away on West Cliff Drive every year, I’d like to think maybe it was the offspring of the one I used to watch back in the day. Genetics are a cool and mysterious puzzle I like to ponder! . . . . . . . . #redtailedhawk #westcliffdrive #aranagulch #santacruz #birdnerd #birds #california #californiacoast #scienceteacher #teachersofinstagram# nature #wildlife #wildlifephotography #animals sciencefacts #birdsfacts

West Cliff Drive at sunset. West Cliff was made for people to enjoy, whether walking, bicycling or with dogs, the best way to experience it is not from behind the windshield of a car. Personally, I can’t wait until West Cliff Drive becomes one way with a wider and safer walkway and a separate bike lane. #santacruz #sunset #westcliffdrive #goldenhour

Quiet conversations drowned out by the crashing waves, Questions about how we each spent our day silenced, Rolling sets with high winds blowing the mist off the tops, A ball of fire peaks through the distant clouds, Our breathing slows and our minds find calm, Huskies sitting closely and appreciating just being out here, Inspiration sought and found by simply being in nature, Timing seems to be everything, Learning how to be more present, Gratitude found outside and within! -Mat . . . . . #emformphoto #emformdesign #emformlandscapes #creativewriting #creativephotography #layersoflove #lighthouse #santacruzewaves #santacruzbeaches #santacruzvibes #positivevibes #embracechange #loveeachother #findpeaceinthemoment #californiacoast #centralcoast #santacruzsunset #landscapephotography #westcliffdrive #santacruzphotographer #writewhatyoufeel

🌅 Exploring West Cliff Drive (Yeah, we know West Cliff may seem like old hat to many of you but it's awesome, right?!) 🚴 Santa Cruz loves its West Cliff Drive, and with good reason. A 2.5-mile bike and pedestrian path skirting the cliffs above the sea, West Cliff extends from the wharf at one end to Natural Bridges State Beach at the other, offering spectacular views 😱 Editor’s Note: In the first weeks of January 2023, a parade of atmospheric rivers and bomb cyclones generated waves reaching 30 feet that pulverized West Cliff Drive... 🌊 Coastal getaway awaits: https://hilltromper.com/article/west-cliff-drive #Hilltromper #WestCliff #WestCliffDrive #WestCliffUpdate #WestCliffVision #NaturalBridges #SantaCruz #MontereyBay #Lighthouse #VisitSantaCruz

Do you like to remove invasive plants? Then come join us at Natural Bridges State Park for our Restoration Day! 🧤🌱🧤 Where you can meet new people and help make a difference on Saturday, March 9th from 9:30 - 11:30 AM. Our efforts to remove these small invasive plants now mean fewer huge thistles in the summertime. The thistles seeds can last up to 7 years in the soil. So with combined effort, we can get a lot done! Please RSVP at Squarespace or call (831) 423-0871 Please bring a water bottle. You can bring or borrow gloves. Also, if you have a trowel and/or dandelion puller please bring that too! 💚🌱💚 #NaturalBridges #NaturalBridgesStateBeach #ThatsMyPark #CAStateParks #WestCliffDrive #Highway1 #SantaCruz #SantaCruzLife #VisitSantaCruz #CaliforniaCoast #BayArea #CaliforniaMPAs #ExploreTheCoast #Stewardship #ThingsToDoInSantaCruz #CaliforniaBeaches #ExploreSantaCruz #ThatsMyPark #Restoration #InvasivePlants #Thistles #InvasivePlantRemoval #FreeEvent

It's soft and squishy, but it's not icky! It's a purple encrusting sponge! Sponges aren't plants, but animals! See those teeny tiny holes? The sponge draws water through them, filters it for oxygen and food and pushes it back out the larger holes. Sponges are a common food source for one of our favorite tidepool finds: the nudibranch! Remember, if you visit the Natural Bridges State Beach tidepools, look at these fantastic creatures, but don't touch them. We're in a Marine Protected Area, which means this is a safe home for our animals. . . . #NaturalBridges #NaturalBridgesStateBeach #ThatsMyPark #CAStateParks #SantaCruz #SantaCruzStateBeaches #VisitSantaCruz #ThingsToDoInSantaCruz #CaliforniaBeaches #ExploreSantaCruz #RecreateResponsibly #GetOutside #CaliforniaMPAs #CalifMPAs #DiveIntoMPAs #MarineProtectedArea #MPAMonday #MontereyBay #WestCliffDrive #CaliforniaCoast #TidePools #MarineConservation #SeaCreatures #SeaAnimals #OceanCreatures #MarineAnimals #OceanLife #OceanConservation #RockyShore #SaveOurSeas

Take care West Cliff Drive. One of our favorite roads, my absolute favorite, has been taking a lot of beatings over the past year+, hopefully things don’t get worse with this ongoing storm. It seems a smart move that they moved some of the heavy equipment away from the edge, I know waves went over some excavators during our recent big wave events.
