Description
Marina (Fast n furious!) - California
Marina State Beach features a powerful beach break with hollow and fast waves breaking both right and left over a sandy bottom. The spot is accessible via Reservation Road, with instant access to the beach in under 5 minutes. Ideal conditions occur at mid tide with rising and falling tides, and it works best with swells from the North, NorthWest, SouthWest, and South.
Located between Santa Cruz and Monterey, Marina offers a scenic backdrop and typically uncrowded waves, making it a perfect getaway for surfers seeking a chill vibe. The beach can deliver fun barrels, reminiscent of Salinas, especially with the right swell. While parking is available, it requires a fee, so plan accordingly. Be cautious of rips, undertow, and the occasional shark, and enjoy the thrill of this hidden gem on California's central coast.
