Description:
If "enjoys long walk on the beach" fits your love interest description, look no further than Natural Bridges State Beach. This sheltered beach is a favorite among locals for its unique geography, tide pools, and soft sand. A natural stone arch is the "bridge" this beach gets its name from. When the tide is out, beach goers can venture under the archway to marvel at starfish and anemones. To the Natural Bridge's east are a bevy of tide pools and to the north a eucalyptus grove that annual hosts millions of Monarch butterflies on their lengthy mating migration. Natural Bridges is the perfect spot for a long walk, relaxing day, and look out over the rolling waves.
