Salinas River State Beach

It is located at the south end of Moss Landing, California.

The park can be accessed from the Potrero exit off of Highway 1, in Moss Landing.

The park includes the Salinas River Mouth Natural Preserve and the Salinas River Dunes Natural Preserve.

Water conditions are often adverse; the temperature is too low, the waves are too strong, and the surf is unpredictable.

[1] Among the species found on the beach and its dunes are California brown pelican, red-tailed hawk, American kestrel, western snowy plover, western gull, black phoebe, California scrub jay, California towhee, and white-crowned sparrow.
