Davenport Landing Beach — Attraction in Boulder Creek

The best kept secret of Davenport! #1 place to visit for tide pools. Make sure you check the tide charts before visiting if going for tide pools. Tons of pelicans flying overhead. Bring your water shoes because the mussels can be sharp to walk on barefooted. Look out for sea anemone, hermit crabs, starfish, and crabs. Lots of surfers if the water is right. Doesn't get too crowded unless it's sunny out. Better time to visit is when it's overcast in my opinion. You want to go all the way to the left once on the beach, not to the right.

There are public restrooms available at the entrance to the beach. Make sure to stop by Whale City Bakery and grab food to...

There are more crabs, hermit crabs, fish, and sea anemones. The water is little bit dirty in the middle of the beach because of the seaweeds. Anyway, it is a wonderful place for kids and...

One of my favorite beaches. Parking lot is smaler and parking is also allowed on the side of the road. Paved walkway with easy access to the ocean. 2 benches at the entrance to the beach. Check the tide chart before visiting. We went there last Tuesday during high tide and my friend got swept into the ocean. The surging wave was so strong, knocked my friend down and pulled her into the ocean. The water was up to my knees and I was unable to get her back up on her feet. Another beach visitor came running when he saw us struggling and helped my friend out of the water. Thank you again! We learned our lesson - Never underestimate the power of...
