Santa Cruz is such a cool place to visit, I've been there a few times and I always have a blast. If you're into beaches, you've got to check out Natural Bridges State Beach and Santa Cruz Main Beach, they're both really beautiful and great for soaking up the sun. The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is also a must-visit, it's a classic amusement park right on the beach with some really fun rides. If you're looking for something a bit more low-key, the redwood forests just outside of town are amazing, you can hike and explore for hours. And of course, you can't miss the Santa Cruz Wharf, it's got some great seafood restaurants and shops to browse.

There are numerous fun things you can do in Santa Cruz regardless of what kind of traveler you are. You can ride on boardwalk rides and games, walk on scenic West Cliff Drive, and relax at Natural Bridges State Beach. Nature enthusiasts can go for hikes and mountain biking trips through the redwood forests that are located in the local state parks such as Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park. In addition to that, one can have fun with family and friends at Santa Cruz Wharf, surf or kayak in Monterey Bay, and observe whales.
