Seacliff is a California State Beach located off Highway 1 in the town of Aptos about 5 miles south of Santa Cruz, on State Park Drive. The beach is most known for the concrete ship SS Palo Alto lying in the water. After the recent storms the ship broke in half and it's sinking. #Beachbound
Wonderful place to camp along the beach. It's hard to get reservations, but worth it once you get a spot. Enjoy!
