Laguna Creek Beach
About
Laguna Creek Beach is a public beach on the California coast, about 3 miles from the town of Davenport. There is no fee to visit. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from late spring into early fall, when rain is rare. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Ben Lomond show May highs around 80°F, and July and August see almost no wet days. The station sits inland, about 8 miles away, so these figures are a rough guide for the coast rather than an exact match. Close by, the Blufftop Trail is about 2 miles away and the Baldwin Loop about 2.5 miles. The Wilder Ridge Loop is about 3 miles off, and the Santa Cruz climbing area is just under 5 miles away.
