How ReportLost Works
You submit your loss
Tell us what you lost, where, and when. For a pet, we prioritize immediate alerts. For other items, we generate all the details the right authorities need.
We route your report
Your loss reaches the Santa Cruz Police Department, transit lost and found, local animal shelter (if applicable), and community groups searching in Pleasure Point.
Your report keeps searching
For 12 months, your report automatically matches against new items posted to lost and found boards, Facebook groups, and local marketplaces. You get alerted as soon as a credible match surfaces—no need to check daily yourself.
Where to Report in Pleasure Point
Your loss likely belongs to one of these channels. ReportLost alerts all of them at once; here's what each handles if you go direct.
Santa Cruz Police Department
The official place to report lost property in the Pleasure Point area. They log valuables and keep them if turned in. Items held for 90 days before disposal. We identify the right precinct and file your report directly.
Pleasure Point County Park
Items lost at the cove or on East Cliff Drive are often turned in to the park office. Staff operate Monday through Friday and manage a small lost and found. We help you describe your item and the exact location where ReportLost found it.
Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter
If you've lost a dog, cat, or other pet in or near Pleasure Point, check here immediately and file a lost pet report. The shelter is open daily and also manages the official lost pet network. Bring proof of ownership when you visit, and file a priority lost pet report with ReportLost to reach rescue networks within hours.
SC Metro Transit

Report my lost item →Losing something valuable in Pleasure Point, whether it's a wallet at the beach, a ring near the cove, or a beloved pet from your neighborhood, means navigating separate systems: the Santa Cruz Police Department handles reports, the County Animal Shelter takes in strays, local transit has its own lost and found, and community groups scatter across Facebook and Reddit. Each channel operates independently, and calling around takes time you don't have.
ReportLost bridges all of them. File once, and we ensure your loss reaches every relevant authority, rescue network, and social channel at once. What makes the difference is continuity: while you move forward with your day, your report stays active in the background, automatically watching for matches across new posts and announcements for months to come. That persistent search, combined with official routing, is what brings lost items and pets home.
