Going to the beach is one of many escapes from the hustle and bustle of life that one could partake in. Dipping your feet in the crystal clear water and feeling the fine white sand are experiences that make you forget the worries of the present. Indeed, our life is not made up of moments in which we only breathe. Rather, life is about creating moments that take our breath away. And certainly, going to the beach is one of those glorious moments.
A friend of mine who lives in California has been telling me a lot about how amazing the coastline and beaches are in her location. I bet she is having the time of her life exploring the amazing waters of California. To mention a few, these are some of the most popular and famous beaches in the state of California:
Sonoma Coast State Beaches
These beaches are a refuge for hundreds of species of birds and sea creatures that come and go depending on the season. In truth, they are recommended by some authorities for their pristine and crystal clear waters that attract many tourists and visitors every year. One may like to bask in the sun, especially during the summer. However, it is recommended that one always beware of the waves, which can be huge at times and can catch beachgoers off guard.
Santa Cruz Beaches
With a 29-mile stretch of coastline, the beaches of Santa Cruz are a true haven for beach lovers. From surfing, swimming, fishing to sunbathing, adults and children are sure to have the time of their lives in Santa Cruz. When visiting this place, the train ride along the boardwalk and beach in summer time is highly recommended.
Santa Barbara East Beach
This wide expanse of white sand is a gathering point for large, colorful beach umbrellas, beach sports, sand castles, and other fun games. Every Sunday, artists exhibit their masterpieces under the palm trees. Children will surely have fun watching the charming animals in a zoo near the beach. For volleyball enthusiasts, there are games that are held frequently. If you love shopping, this place is definitely for you. This area is also home to excellent dining and reasonable hotel accommodation.
