About This Beach
Moss Landing State Beach offers a blend of serene coastal beauty and opportunities for wildlife viewing. While the beach itself is expansive and sandy, strong currents make swimming risky. Ample parking is available, but amenities are limited to basic restrooms (often porta-potties). The nearby harbor and Elkhorn Slough provide additional activities and scenic vistas.
