In Santa Cruz County, the land often meets the shore abruptly, with rocky cliffs overlooking the water. Occasionally the land yields and a sandy cove is formed. Most of the beaches in the county are in the coves, often protected from view by the surrounding cliffs.

A few nude sunbathers frequent the Santa Cruz County nude beaches south of Santa Cruz (Cowell, La Selva, Rio del Mar, Manresa) but use is light and sporadic. I have been unable to locate any information about nudity laws here.
