Watsonville, California

Become an "urban refugee" in this colorful town just south of Santa Cruz, California. With its stately ranches and its grand Victorian homes, Watsonville offers a pleasant escape from the hustle and bustle of urban life.

Strawberries are the main crop grown in Watsonville's rich agricultural fields. In fact, the town honors the bountiful crop every year with the Monterey Bay Strawberry Festival. What goes well with strawberries? Good wines, of course. Watsonville is home to several high-quality wineries, including River Run Vintners, where you can spend the day tasting your favorite chardonnay, zinfandel, merlot or syrah.

Besides good food, Watsonville has an excellent raceway, the Watsonville Speedway, where spectators can watch competitive NASCAR racing. For those who want a quieter experience, though, check out nearby Sunset State Beach. With tall pine trees and lush sand dunes, this treasure on Monterey Bay is the perfect place to relax or have a family picnic.

Another benefit of life in Watsonville is its proximity to nearby cities. Monterey and Santa Cruz are just a short drive away.
