One of my favorite walks is a quick 3-mile loop from my house down to Seabright beach and back. This route goes through quiet residential neighborhoods, a small commercial strip, a small-boat harbor, and a beautiful quiet beach. (I have not yet experienced the summer tourist season in Santa Cruz; my beach might not be quiet for long!)
Another of my favorite things about Santa Cruz is its sky. Being nestled between the ocean and the mountains gives Santa Cruz an active and changeable sky.
Here are some photos from a recent late-afternoon walk.
