Location
Right on the beach in Santa Cruz, and close to restaurants and shopping on the wharf
Santa Cruz is a bayside community on Monterey Bay's north end, and is home to an eclectic mix of hippies, surfers, students and music junkies. It's a veritable playground for water lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Visitors can rent electric or pedal-powered bikes from Electric Sierra Cycles to Cruise West Cliff Drive, or saunter through the vintage waterfront boardwalk, which has some of the coast's oldest rides (not to mention an annual Clam Chowder Cook Off). Venture Quest offers sea-cave and whale-watching excursions, while Stagnaro's offers year-round fishing off the wharf. Santa Cruz Surfing Museum in the Mark Abbott Memorial Lighthouse provides information on the city's rich surfing history.When day fades to night, visitors can head to Catalyst or Moe's Alley for some live music, or wander over to Blue Lagoon for late-night dancing and billiards.- 49-minute drive from San Jose International Airport
