Pleasure Point, a popular surfing spot along the rugged central California coast just east of Soquel Point and near the city of Santa Cruz, has long held an intriguing and somewhat embellished backstory behind its evocative name. According to local lore and folklore, the area was purportedly named after a notorious 1930s brothel that once operated in the vicinity, giving the location a scandalous and salacious reputation. However, the true origins of the name can actually be traced back to a grand, sprawling mansion known as "The Owls" that stood on the site in the early 20th century. This opulent residence was built in 1903 by a wealthy businessman named A.D. Houghton after he retired, with the beach below the mansion originally being referred to as "Houghton's" after its owner.
Sadly, the grand Owls mansion met a fiery end in 1914 when it was consumed by a devastating blaze. But even after its destruction, the property maintained a unique distinction - its basement, which had been flooded by seawater, was converted into an open-air swimming pool that became a popular local attraction. In the decades that followed, this former mansion basement was renovated and expanded into the Pleasure Point Plunge, a full-fledged health spa and swimming facility that drew visitors from near and far to enjoy its restorative waters. Though the Pleasure Point Plunge eventually went bankrupt and shuttered in the mid-1950s, the memorable name it had adopted lived on, forever branding this picturesque stretch of California coastline as Pleasure Point in the public consciousness. And while the scandalous brothel tale may be nothing more than local lore, the name's association with the opulent Owls mansion and its one-of-a-kind swimming pool undoubtedly contributed to Pleasure Point's enduring allure and reputation as a premier surfing and recreation destination.
