Hey luke
You could also check out 'dog beach' which is right next to/below the surfers museum (cowells i think is what the surfers call it.
Also you can go north on the one to 'three mile beach', 'panther' or any other beach along the rd. You just have to walk down to the beach.
And there is alwat the east side beaches near Natey I think. Pleasure point is always a good spot.

The dog beach is called It's Beach, There's stairs that take you down there just north of the lighthouse. Look out for shorepound!
"3-Mile" exists, but there's not much of a beach there...it's a surfspot.
4-Mile is the one with all the sand. It's really a beautiful beach. Also, if you're on hwy 1 north of Santa Cruz, check out Bonny Doon Beach. It's at the bottom of Bonny Doon road, about 2 miles south of Davenport.
Stay away from Panther Beach. It's a pretty beach, but at least a half dozen fishermen drown there every year. There's a mean little current out there, and if you get sucked around the point to the south...

you'll suddenly be about 1/2 mile out to sea with no beach, only shear cliffs and rocks on the shore.
Pleasure Point is a fun surfspot, but for a beach, check out 26th ave or Santa Maria's, at the end of 18th-21st aves. The eastside has a ton of nice beaches. Also, if you're visiting SC, the Boardwalk is always fun, and it's got one of the nicest beaches in SC in front of it.
