Santa Cruz’s Westside is hot spot for shopping, dining and enjoying all the beauty that Santa Cruz has to offer. Run, bike or walk along West Cliff and make sure to check out the Santa Cruz Lighthouse and Surfing Museum while you’re there. Ocean lovers will enjoy a stop at the Seymour Center for an interactive marine exhibit with an amazing view. Catch a view of the Monarch butterflies or explore the tidepools at Natural Bridges State Beach.
Swift St. and Ingalls St. courtyards are a place to dine, shop and get lost in the day mingling with friends. Take a yoga class at Santa Cruz Yoga or relax and enjoy the hip community vibe of both Westside and UCSC. The courtyards host Kelly’s French Bakery, Santa Cruz Mountain Brewery, West End Tap and Kitchen, Sawyer Land and Sea Supply and 6 wine tasting rooms, to mention a few. On Saturday mornings the parking lot turns into a fabulous Farmers Market!
