Santa Cruz Harbor

I live a quarter mile from the harbor and I have walked it daily for 30 years. I never tire of this walk because it’s ever changing. It’s always peaceful and interesting for watching all the wildlife, boats and people. It’s best to park at the lower harbor and you can walk either the lighthouse and jetty side to the Seabright beach or you can walk the Crows Nest side with a gift shop, deli, boat launch, and restaurants. On weekends there is a water taxi that takes people around to different locations on both sides and you ride for free. Easy to spend a whole day exploring the harbor and the area’s around the harbor too.

A great place to launch your boat. The wide ramp can accommodate 5-7 boats at a time depending upon boat size and the Captain's abilities. I've seen madness and mayhem on occasion. Most of the time things go smoothly and then there are time when someone gives a hard yank on the starter rope and ends up in the water.

Very nice boat launch. Has great boat wash station with a change machine for quarters. Only downside I noticed to this place is that the store at the dock is not at all for any fishing supplies and tackle. Make sure if you're launching to fish you come prepared. Otherwise this is my favorite harbor yet!

Very nice place to surf fish either from the rocks or shore, restrooms and showers here and a nice restaurant Crows Nest if you don't wanna eat inside they have a snack shack on the side. Nice lil family beach the residents are very nice.
