Surfing

Considered one of the top surf spots in all of Santa Cruz County, it should come as little surprise that Pleasure Point has a vibrant surf culture. What makes this area such a popular surf spot is its incredible breaks and wave varieties that are perfect for beginners and experts alike. Of course, this can lead to crowded beaches, but surf etiquette is top-notch in Pleasure Point, so everyone gets a chance to ride the waves. The locals also have their own spots that attract fewer visitors, like “The Hook,” which is a bit more hidden than the major breaks by the O’Neil house, giving surfers a less crowded environment.
