Manresa State Beach 205 Manresa Beach Road • La Selva Beach, CA 95076 (831) 761-1795 Manresa State Beach rewards visitors with sweeping views of bluff-backed sand and sea, including the Santa Cruz Mountains to the northwest and the forested hills of the Monterey Peninsula to the southwest. This beach features a beautiful expanse of sea and sand, with surf fishing, surfing, and recreation. FEES: Registration fees are required upon entry. Campsites hold a maximum of eight people. The camping fee includes one primary vehicle and one towed-in licensed vehicle or trailer. Due to parking limitations, one additional vehicle is permitted. An extra vehicle fee will be assessed for each day. VEHICLES: All vehicles must remain on the pavement at all times. Vehicles must be parked in the Upper Lot for the duration of the stay. The Lower Twenty-Minute Lot is specifically for campers who are loading and unloading their vehicles. While loading and unloading, we ask that you stay on designated trails and walkways and that your vehicle is parked in a marked parking space. SPEED LIMITS are posted and strictly enforced. Remember, children and adults frequently cross the roadways. Please drive carefully. QUIET HOURS are from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. Radios and other soundproducing devices must not be audible beyond your immediate campsite, regardless of the time of day. Generators may only be used from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. DANGER: Please stay off the cliffs and only use park paths to access the beach. The cliffs are unstable. CHECK-OUT TIME is at 12 p.m. (noon). Your camping permit provides day-use entrance to other state parks and state beaches until sunset. If you wish to extend your stay, you may re-register at the entrance station on a night by night basis, provided that camping spaces are available. Re-register no later than 12 p.m. (noon). DOGS must be on a leash (six feet maximum in length), picked up after, and controlled at all times. Do not leave your dog unattended at the campsite, and keep your pets inside at night. Dogs are permitted on paved roads, in day-use areas, in campgrounds, and on Manresa SB. WASTE WATER: No water or effluent may be discharged onto the ground. Payment of camping fees at Manresa SB qualifies registered vehicles to utilize the dump station at New Brighton State Beach (1500 Park Ave., Capitola, CA 95010). RESPECT PARK PROPERTY: Help us maintain the park’s natural beauty by respecting California State Parks property. Please do not cut, carve, or drive nails into tables, posts, day-use areas, or trees. WILD ANIMALS: For your safety, do not feed the wild animals. Wild animals can be aggressive, dangerous, and may carry disease. WOOD: Please do not gather wood. Wood may be purchased at the entrance station or through the Campground Hosts. The purchase of wood supports Friends of Santa Cruz State Parks, which contributes to California State Parks interpretive programs. CAMPFIRES: Fires must be confined to camping stoves, state park fire rings, or state park dayuse grills. Fires are not allowed in makeshift rock fire rings, on tables, on the ground, or in the sand.
