Santa Cruz County Nude Beaches
The natural beauty at Panther Beach and Hole in the Wall Beach is without equal.
| Driving |
CA 1 just south of Davenport between milepost
26.86 and 26.4 Read how to interpret a California milepost
marker The entrance is very hard to see when coming from the north. Look for a dirt road between the west side of highway and the railroad track and be prepared to make a very sharp turn. |
| Parking |
Park on the dirt between the highway and the
railroad tracks (west of the highway) Take care with your belongings, vandalism has been reported here |
| Walking |
From the north end of the parking area, cross
the tracks and follow the trail It's steep and eroded, use with caution and watch for poison oak. The only way to get to Hole in the Wall is to walk through the hole in the rocks at the south end of the beach, but don't try it at high tide and be sure to get back before the tide comes in. |
Laws regarding nudity at the naturist beach vary by location and fines are stiff in some places. I have made every effort to provide accurate information, but the responsibility for knowing the law at Panther Beach and Hole in the Wall Beach is yours.
Nude or naturist beach neophytes, please be respectful of others and read the Nude Beach and Topless Beach Etiquette guidelines before you go to a nude beach and check the nudity laws too.
