Santa Cruz - Sunny Cove
Edit SpotAbout
This spot can ge packed but then other times there is no one there. Also there is only one spot to catch the wave and its by the rock or along the rocK (YOU WILL SEE WHEN YOU GET THERE).
During the winter of 2007 a large section of cliff fell off and now is submerged , reaching clear to the surface , visable at low tide . There is also a large submerged rock at the point and one toward the beach on the cliff side . Use caution when bodyboarding .
