Coast Guard Suspends Search for Swept-Away Woman

The Coast Guard has suspended its search for 24-year-old Senah Park, who was swept out to sea near Panther State Beach in Santa Cruz County. Park and three friends were caught by a rising tide while passing through a rock arch; the others made it back to shore. Search crews from multiple agencies covered about 95 square miles using boats, aircraft, drones and other resources but did not find her, and the sheriff’s office said it would consider whether to take further steps. Authorities have warned that tides, surf and limited beach access can quickly make the area dangerous; Park’s father also reported that friends found items that may have belonged to her.
