About Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz is a Californian beach town on Monterey Bay, with a seaside boardwalk, famous surf breaks, redwood forest and a university in the hills.
Santa Cruz sits on the north shore of Monterey Bay, with redwood-covered mountains behind it. Its Beach Boardwalk, an amusement park by the sand that opened in 1907, has the Giant Dipper, a wooden roller coaster from 1924. The Municipal Wharf, more than eight hundred metres long, reaches into the bay with seafood restaurants, and sea lions rest on the pilings below.
