On the coast of California, shoring up the Pacific Ocean, is the beautiful seaside landscape of Santa Cruz, California. Home to the distinguished University of California, Santa Cruz, this city is a rare mix of sun-kissed oasis and cultural hotbed. Located at the base of the San Francisco Peninsula, Santa Cruz is a rare treat and a wonderful getaway from the noise and congestion of its tech-centric counterpart cities to the north. This area is an epicenter for university students, surf lovers, and family fun. The residential architecture is a picturesque blend of vintage and new-age homes, with an eclectic feel and a hip vibe all its own.
Santa Cruz is known for its fantastic wine resorts and scenic boardwalks, the high cliffs with breathtaking vista views and the beach life, which attracts everyone from surfers to touring families. Appreciate the lighthouse views or check out the boardwalk vendors and fairs.
