Other Things to Note:

Summer! Is a lot of fun in Santa Cruz. There is so much to do! It's a great time to go whale watching or stand up paddleboarding, go for a long bike ride along West Cliff Drive or take a surfing lesson. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk also has great specials during the week that will save you a lot of money without the crowds.



Fall is upon us this means that the beaches aren't packed with people and yet the weather is still warm and beautiful. Humpbacks are still in our bay and you may spot one breaching offshore or get on one of our local Whale Watching tours and you will see so much sea life. This is the season to enjoy watching Grey Whales from the shore as they migrate to Mexico with their calves. There are also many Monarch butterflies across the street at Natural Bridges State Park. You may also spot a few in our backyard.
