Santa Cruz is one of four incorporated
cities (the other three being
Capitola,
Scotts Valley, and
Watsonville) making up Santa
Cruz County. With its Mediterranean-like
climate, abundance of sun (the sun
shines an average of 300 days a year),
and location on Monterey Bay, Santa
Cruz is perfect for surfer dudes (and
dudettes), nature-buffs, and seafood-lovers
alike.
Santa Cruz (pop. 54,593), on Monterey Bay, invites
you to join the surfing scene, watch the graceful
antics of the Californian sea lions, or enjoy a
blast from the past at Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.
