Garrapata State Beach

7comments

Fifty feet more South is Garrapata Creek Bridge. Go down the stairs to the beach then turn rtght (North). Walk North from the stairs until you reach the creek (small waterfall). Find a spot in one of the coves, get naked, and wait. Both couples and single action often. An incredibly beautiful beach, worth a visit. Walk south from the stairs.

Best time
Daytime in summer.
Crowd
Nude sunbathers.
