We were staying in Santa Cruz and our hotel recommend the west cliff drive. We drove and parked and walked a little. We enjoyed watching the surfers and seals. We then drove some move stopping at the natural bridge state park. It was a nice scenic view, short and no fee.
always a great walk or bike ride along the ocean. Great views of the ocean and landscape. Must do if you are in Santa Cruz. Be sure to stop at the lighthouse which is now a surfing museum and to watch the surfers there.
Waves, surfers, small beaches, dolphins, whales, otters, sea lions and stunning views of Monterey Bay. The paved walkway is about 4 miles long and stretches from The Dream Inn above the wharf all the way to Natural Bridges State Park. There's not a bad view anywhere. Can be crowded in the summer but usually only between the Wharf and the Lighthouse.Its Beach, next to the lighthouse is a great locals beach. Usually dog friendly if and your your dog are well behaved.
The West Cliff Drive area has a wonderful paved sidewalk along the edge of the cliff. We enjoyed the beautiful scenery and the surfers and kayakers. Parking is available, but of course it is limited. We did find a spot on a side road. We would come here again when visiting Santa Cruz.
We got here early and found parking spot by the lighthouse. Beautiful views as we walked to the boardwalk. You pass surfers and many spots for photo ops. Wear comfortable walking shoes.
West Cliff Drive runs along the cliffs right at the edge of the ocean. You have spectacular ocean views to the west and beautiful homes on the east side of the street. Whether you want to take in the sights from your car or whether you want to get out and walk (you can walk all the way down to the wharf and Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk), this is an experience I never get tired of having. Every time we go to Santa Cruz, taking a long walk along West Cliff Drive is one of the things at the top of our "to do" list.
在过去的40年里,我去过圣克鲁斯的次数不计其数,但我从来没有沿着西克里夫滨海公路开车前往过。这么多年我错过了多少美好的精致啊!开车的途中看到的景色都很美,还有很多地方值得停留下来,欣赏如画的美景。
Being from the south, the most we usually see of water is the gulf. Beaches of Biloxi and Bama a lot of the times can get murky and dull. Seeing water that blue, and the amazing cliffs are just mind blowing. Be careful as it's enough to make you immediately want to pack up and move.
岩石景致,我喜欢骑车除了周末可能很拥挤。你可以科威尔看波浪,然后指标轮船巷然后海湾街,约翰街,在自然桥上的人行道,景致最美的自行车之行。
If you are in Santa Cruz then you have to do both the walk and the drive along West Cliff Drive . As many others have pointed out the walk along the cliffs is gorgeous with surfers on the west side , including the odd seal and lovely homes on the east side. The flowers along the cliffs were in bloom which added to the beauty . It is also worth driving the entire route. Would recommend it .
