Averaging more than 300 sunny days a year, Santa Cruz is an ideal destination
for beach lovers and surfers. The city is located roughly 70 mi (113 km) south
of San Francisco and 30 mi
(48 km) from San Jose. Known alternately
as Surf City, it is reputed that this was where Hawaiian royalty first introduced
surfing to mainlanders. Pleasure
Point Beach and Cowell
Beach are popular locations for surfers, not only for the size of the surf
but also because the sandy beaches provide favorable conditions for playing beach
volleyball and relaxing by a bonfire. Another popular local attraction is the
Santa
Cruz Beach Boardwalk. One of the West Coast's remaining seaside amusement
parks, the Boardwalk's features include roller coasters, a 1911 Looff carousel
and a mini golf course. California's longest working and recreational wharf, the
Santa
Cruz Municipal Wharf, offers pier fishing, dining and entertainment opportunities
as well as water equipment rentals.
