Drive North on Hwy 1 from Santa Cruz. Stop and park in dirt parking lot at the corner of Hwy 1 and Laguna Rd. Walk across the highway and onto dirt trail. Walk about .5 to beach.
Hoolow beach-break. Be aware of the backwash at high tide.
Overview
Atmosphere
Great view! As you look at the surf you'll see a small lagoon on your left. This lagoon feeds out to the ocean via a small creek. There is a great point-like left on the south end of the beach off a small rocky shelf. Nudists frequent this beach.
General
Good spot. Not always a winner, but always worth the check. Sometimes is firing and nobody out due to walk and lack of ability to see from the hwy.
So not "always worth a check"
Lagunas breaks good about ten times a year. And when it actually breaks, the surrounding better-known breaks are all-time. Short beachbreak (not a point).
