Yellow Bank Beach |

|
The small pocket beach is not the birding draw here, but walk in either direction along the top of the coastal bluffs for some interesting birding and fantastic views. Park in the long dirt parking lot on the ocean side of Hwy 1, 6.8 miles north of Western Drive (Santa Cruz), about 0.7 mile north of the Laguna Creek parking lot. From the end of the lot, cross the railroad tracks and walk up or down the coast. Going down the coast will bring you to a remnant patch of coastal prairie with nesting Savannah Sparrows and a fine patch of coastal scrub. This area offers a rare opportunity to observe Cliff Swallows actually nesting on cliffs.
