"Harbor Beach, Santa Cruz, CA. Most beaches are excellent. Beauty is a plus. Awesome sand is a plus. But ... you've gotta make a beach your own for it to be the best. Be there. Play there. Build memories. Only then can it be a favorite beach. Any beach can be the best beach in the world." - Morgan Rudluff
