Cute ambiance - on weekends they often have a little folk trio that plays on the patio. Stroll over for a yummy pastry and espresso. The French toast is the BEST I've ever had!

Sweet little Italian restaurant with excellent food and ambiance. You'll need a reservation for dinner. They have recently moved a block away, so be sure to check new address.

Really good and really cheap hole in the wall Mexican food. This place has a line out the door at lunch (don't worry, they're fast). My favorite tacos in town.

My favorite place to hear live music and dance. Lots of reggae and blues artists, crowd is always chill, and the drinks aren't watered down.

Entertainment & Activities

Beautiful little park with a fun playground (great slides!), and an off-leash dog area. Perfect view of the Boardwalk. Just the walk down Ocean View Ave is enjoyable - prettiest street in Santa Cruz.

Classic amusement park with rides for all ages. Don't miss the Giant Dipper! Parking tip: take Pine toward beach, right on Buena Vista, and park toward the end. Walk across E. Cliff to trestle bridge.

Unofficial off-leash dog beach. The signs say they have to be leashed, but none of the locals do. We take our pup there all the time without any problem. It's beautiful!
