Santa Cruz at a glance

Is Santa Cruz paradise found? With a laid-back beach culture, dramatic shorelines and stunning redwood trees, you could definitely make the case. This Northern California beach town is picturesque, from the famous Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk to the rugged hillsides of West Cliff Drive.

Santa Cruz is known for its surfing. Whether you’re a seasoned surfer or content to just watch from the beach, there’s something classically Californian about the whole experience. Want to try for yourself? Santa Cruz is home to multiple surf schools.

It’s also a foodie destination, thanks to its proximity to Northern California’s agricultural hubs. In fact, Santa Cruz has five different farmers markets where you can sample regional produce, hear live music and simply enjoy some time in the sun.
