San Vicente Creek (Spanish for "St. Vincent") is a 9.3-mile-long (15.0 km)northern California coastal stream which flows entirely within Santa Cruz County (37°00′34″N 122°11′39″W / 37.009394°N 122.194136°W) and discharges to the Pacific Ocean. Its waters rise on the west facing slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, and its mouth is at the unincorporated community of Davenport (which had originally been named after the creek).
Originally, there was a tidal marsh at the mouth of San Vicente Creek, but this was filled in by a trestle and rampart built by a collaboration between the Ocean Shore Railway and the Southern Pacific Transportation Company in 1906. The creek was redirected through a tunnel blasted into the rock adjacent to its former course.
