Moss Landing State Beach, Moss Landing

The parking is free and there is about 30 places. You can also park on the small street which gives about 50 more spots. There are two construction toilets. The way to the beach is very sandy hence it is not possible to push a cart or stroller. However, it takes about 5 minutes of walk so you may be fine carrying your stuff. It was mostly empty when we went at the end of April. Lot of wind, bring a jacket. The sand is clean, the beach is not deep but very large.

This peaceful reserve is full of beauty and wildlife. Moss Landing state beach is summer to several species of plants, birds and sea life. You will find barking sea lions, sea otter paddling around, several species of plants and a wide range of bird life. It is one of the most unique ecosystems on earth. Enjoy the wildlife along the shore or savor a quiet walk along the trails. The parking is free and plentiful. This could be a great low budget date spot. Being a picnic and chairs or tailgate out of the back of a truck or SUV. Enjoy the beautiful scenery while getting to know each other better. IG: SACRAMENTOHONEY
