About Santa Cruz

As a world-renowned surf capital, Santa Cruz boasts iconic wave setups like Steamer Lane alongside scenic natural parks like Natural Bridges State Beach. Steamer Lane provides world-class point breaks for advanced surfers, while Natural Bridges offers gentler waves, sea arches, and exceptional tide pools filled with sea stars, sea anemones, and hermit crabs. Clamming is minimal, but beachcombing and marine viewing are top-tier. Monitoring tide schedules is essential for visitors to safely navigate the rocky platforms at Natural Bridges during low tide and to time surf sessions at Steamer Lane relative to shallow, exposed reef beds.
