The boardwalk, good weather, nice enviro. Friends with cabins, etc. If you got bored you could drive to the City or the central coast, which are all also beautiful. But I prefer the calm nature myself.

Santa Cruz, has been a part of my life since I was a child. Living in the Bay Area, my mom made it a weekend ritual to take my brothers and sister in the summer to visit SC. Now (at 28) I take my kids yearly. Almost every weekend. I love it!

Beautiful beach, but I would like to go there sometime and definitely not miss going to the MYSTERY SPOT. Yes, the place where gravity acts in wierd directions…

because it’s so close to Monterey, Pascific Grove, 17 mile drive, Carmel and Big Sur. Well, Monterey Bay Area is definetely the most beautiful place on earth

Because it is a party town. That is why some would and some wouldn’t. It is also a retirement town and a University town. The boardwalk and University probably account for why it is a party town. Me, I love the pier and the restaurants on it. Also, the pier has nice shops and fresh fish stores. Santa Cruz is also close to other beautiful areas. There used to be a steam train near Felton. There is Big Basin State Park which has redwood trees. In the old days, the deer there would eat out of your hand. I always enjoyed the beach near Natural Bridges.

Nice boardwalk, great beaches, good food, fun rides, nice atmosphere, overall enjoyable vacation scale 8/10.The only bad things are there junky old motels and some weird people around there. But overall, it is so much fun!
Attached is the answer we gave to a lady who was coming to Santa Cruz with a child for vacation and wanted toknow where to go that was inexpensive though kid friendly,aside from the Boardwalk.
There are quite a few "kid friendly" AND wallet "friendly" things to do and see in Santa Cruz and the surrounding area.
While the Boardwalk is a huge attraction,and is FREE to enter though it can also be costly if you eat (pack a picnic and eat on the beach) there and decide to go on the rides.. You can purchase wrist bands for unlimited rides & a couple attractions or just for rides. Tickets are available for extra rides or if you only want to ride a couple without the expense of a day pass. You can normally find discount tickets locally (have your relatives check for you now) through grocery stores, sometimes through Pespi (on the back of the can) andthrough AAA’s.
Other kid friendly things to do are to take a ride on the Roaring Camp Railroad (in Felton).It’s an old steam engine that goes through the Redwoods with a docent telling you what you’re seeing and what the train wasused for back in the 1800’s.
The Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary (in Monterey) has a multitude of things to see and do from hiking to whale watching.
The Santa Cruz Mission State Historic Park features one of our California Missions. Mission Santa Cruz was settled in 1791 and is a great palce to seek out a little history especially if your child is or has studied the CA Missions in school.
The Santa Cruz Mystery Spot is one place that I would say is a must see for any age!It’s a vortex of craziness that hasn’t really changed since the day it opened 65 plus years ago. You’ll leave wonding "how can that be?"
Whale watching can be seen from the coast line depending on the time of year. You can also go out on a chatered whale watching boat from various location up and down the coast.
There’s tons of things to see and do aside from the actual SantaCruz/Capitola/Monterey area. If you drive further north on Highway 1, stop in the Half Moon Bay area though traffic can be a bear right now due to the closure of Devil’s Slide.
Remember that while we’re known for sun and fun in CA, Santa Cruz is on the coast which means bring a sweatshirt with you at all times. Once the fogs lifts, it’s awesome though not always as warm as it looks.
About all, enjoy your trip. Pick up a free guide of what to do and see at any local store. Take advantage of the 2 for 1 coupons and the freebies around town such as music at the Mall and things such as that.
