Salinas River State Beach features a sandy beach and dunes that are part of Monterey Bay's unique coastal dune system, home to numerous bird species including the western snowy plover and California brown pelican. Visitors come to fish, view wildlife, enjoy panoramic views of the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, and ride horses on designated routes on the wet sand.
