Wilder Ranch State Park

Stylized by Google Photos

Wilder Ranch State Park is a California State Park on the Pacific Ocean coast north of Santa Cruz, California. The park was formerly a dairy ranch. Although many of the ranch buildings have been restored for use as a museum, they still keep the ranch name. Link to .gov website to see more photos and description.

With its 7000 acres land and fantastic view of the Pacific Ocean, it is a must visit park in Santa Cruz. when kids were yound, we used to go to the Boardwalk when we visit Santa Cruz. Now we discover Santa Cruz has much more to offer than the amusement park and rides.

The admission is $10 per car. I should say the parking is $10 instead because if you come by bicycles, they will not charge you. Some people park outside along the Highway 1. That could be another option.
The map on the parking lot provides some guideance. We took the Old Cove Landing Trail. It is a loop, around 3 miles with half on the ocean front, some right on the edge of the cliffs.



There is trail lead to the beach front.

Short video of the view.
