Panther Beach

1comment

Not a popular/known beach, so not very crowded during the week. Just lay on your towel, get stiff and you'll soon make a friend.

Best time
Weekday mornings/afternoons
Crowd
UCSC students and younger locals
Watch out
Windy and foggy during the summer and high surf in the winter.
