Santa Cruz

Santa Cruz is located on central California’s coast. Its long wharf, with eateries and shops, over looks the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. Vintage rides include the 1911 Looff Carousel and the Giant Dipper roller coaster.

Harbor seals snoozing on the narrow pier supports.  How did they get up there with only flippers to climb???

The one on the right was pushed by his neighbor and fell into the ocean.  Rough way to wake up from a nap.


Natural Bridges State Beach: Rock arch that the water flows through.  They were having a wedding there, in the mist, and they had set up huge piles of wood for bonfires.  Fun!
Beautiful garden.

Amazing homes and gardens.
