About 2 hours south of San Francisco, Santa Cruz is a classic California beach town that many tourists never see… But this area has so much to offer !
Nicknamed “Surf city“, Santa cruz is one of the most popular surfing spot along the California state. The surf is always up in Santa Cruz, this place is considered to be the home of the best waves of the world : The Mavericks ! Do you need another proof that Santa Cruz is a Surf mecca ? Well, the wetsuit pioneer and celebrity Jack O’Neill lives around this city.
You will feel (and enjoy!) the relaxed atmosphere of this bohemian surfer town.
Santa Cruz is the perfect place for the Northern Californian vacationers, a family friendly city known for its famous Boardwalk.
You will enjoy the old school vibe of this amusement park: wooden roller caster, the sweat smell of cotton candy and corn dogs. There is no admission fee to walk around the boardwalk but you’ll have to pay for rides (don’t miss the sunset from the Sky Glider!).
Are you brave enough to try the oldest wooden GIANT DIPPER ROLLER COASTER of the United States? … I, was not.
& Happy Valentine’s Day !
