This is one of my favorite spots to view the bay. It feels touristy looking at it from afar, but once I'm actually on it, I'm always delighted. If you go to the end you can watch the seals below basking in the sun. (right across from ice cream shop). Such a unique vantage point.

A Santa Cruz classic that never gets old. Makes you feel like a kid again! Double check hours before you go, as we are in off-season, rides are only open certain hours.

This is my favorite walking beach. You can park up top at Seascape Resort & walk down a paved path to beach. Walk south towards Manresa State Beach and you'll quickly be away from the crowds (especially if you go on a weekday).
