2222 BEACH

From: richard@West.Sun.COM (Richard M. Mathews)

  2222 BEACH is a small beach along West Cliff Drive, in the middle of a
  residential neighborhood of Santa Cruz!  It gets its name from the address
  of the house across the street from the beach (which has no association
  with the beach other than proximity).  It is about two blocks south of
  Natural Bridges State Beach.  There is a pyramid-like sculpture on the
  cliff above the beach, and a small parking lot.  It is convenient to get
  to; there is car and bike parking, and the 3B Metro bus stops at Natural
  Bridges, a short walk away, and runs hourly during the daytime, 7 days a
  week.

  The beach is best at low tide and later in the summer, since at high
  tide and earlier in the summer the waves cover most of the beach.  There
  is a difficult climb down to the beach over uneven rocks and scraps of
  concrete.  Signs at the top of the cliff warn "Cliffs are Dangerous ...
  Remember!  Hazardous and Changing Conditions May Exist.  Be Cautious ...
  Play Safe."  Once down, the mossy cliffs and beautiful waves make for
  a wonderful experience.  This beach often has gawkers ("pervs" in the
  local parlance) looking down from the cliffs, but they rarely if ever
  harass the bathers directly.
