Laguna Creek, located about ten miles north of Santa Cruz, California, is a stunning, environmentally protected beach renowned for its rich aquatic bird life. This mixed-use beach features designated nude areas, primarily in the north cove and the middle dunes, away from the water. The nude sections are predominantly frequented by gay males, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere.

To access Laguna Creek Beach, park at the north entrance of Laguna Road and Highway 1. From the north end of the parking lot, cross the road and look for a trail through dense vegetation. This trail will soon open up, cross some railroad tracks, and connect to a wide path (an old road) that leads directly to the beach.
