La Selva Beach

The coastal landscape around La Selva Beach is a low, sandy stretch of Monterey Bay shoreline, which has shaped both the community’s dispersed residential form and its locally tourism-oriented economy. This unincorporated community in southern Santa Cruz County lies between Aptos and Watsonville, where the Santa Cruz Mountains descend toward the agricultural Pajaro Valley. Its beach and nearby Manresa State Beach place it within a section of California’s Central Coast associated with surfing, shore walks and a relaxed beach culture. La Selva Beach remains primarily residential, providing a quieter counterpoint to the larger coastal towns around the bay.
