Santa Cruz Travel Guide
California surf culture, redwood forests, and a city with a soul
Santa Cruz has always done things its own way. The city that gave California surf culture its identity, that built a university in the redwoods, that maintains the last great seaside amusement park on the West Coast. Wander the Pacific Garden Mall, wax your board at a classic surf shop, drink excellent coffee, eat Korean fusion, catch a show at the Rio Theatre. Santa Cruz rewards the curious and welcomes everyone.
