Beaches of Santa Cruz are kept clean and modern. The main attraction being the Boardwalk - with newly added Big Dipper rides and other attractions, this place is worth checking out. Plenty of sunshine brings out the best in many beachgoers and local college crowds. Soccer, volleyball, football, along with major crowds of surfers can be found.
Cafes line the beachfront and along the docks with seafood restaurants, many things to do, but the best thing to do is nothing - lying in the sun, relaxing and unwinding for the upcoming trips.
