Below is a list of the nearest beaches to Sankat Mochan Hanuman Temple.

The beachfront community with the same name is part of unincorporated Santa Cruz County but has a Watsonville.

This is a wide sandy beach below a bluff with homes built atop.

The main day use area of Manresa State Beach has a large paved parking.

But theres this not so popular Hindu temple on Mount Madonna which offers a peaceful ambience and has an awesome uphill drive.

Tucked away on a beautiful hilly area in Watsonville, this serene place houses a Hanuman and a Ganesha temple.

This temple instantly reminded us of the small hanuman temples which are found everywhere in India.

This is probably the only temple till date which made us feel as if we were visiting a temple in India and not in the United States.

The one unique feature of this temple is it is run by a white couple which is not the case with Hindu temples everywhere else.

Indians, or rather, Hindu Veda pundits do the puja and other ceremonies in every Hindu temple.

Here, it was a welcome change to see a non-Indian embracing Hinduism and running a Hindu temple.

Not just that, they also conduct yoga and spiritual retreats and seem well-versed with the Hindu mythology.

I was fortunate to witness a class he was taking on Ramayana with his students and was awestruck at his deep knowledge in that branch of Hinduism.
