Travel Map: San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Monterey coastline


Santa Cruz is essentially a beach town, surrounding by the sea and beautiful mountains. Though the most popular beach is the one next to Santa Cruz boardwalk, the quieter and crystal cleaner ones are Capitola, New Brighton and other small beaches a couple of miles out of town.


BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO SANTA CRUZ

Summer is the high travel period in Santa Cruz. Unless you book your hotel rooms well ahead, you will not get any good accommodation in summer.

If you wish to bet a little you may consider May and early June, or the early and mid Autumn to travel to Santa Cruz. These periods are usually good ones, with less people and a relaxed pace (and with considerable hotel discounts).


WHEN NOT TO GO TO SANTA CRUZ

If you you want less crowds and lower prices in accommodation and other services, then do not choose the summer. Instead, choose March, April and May, or October. If you want less packed periods, avoid also the major holidays.

If you want to avoid especially packed days, weeks and weekends, then do not travel to Santa Cruz in the major holidays and weekends. Thanksgiving, Presidents' Day weekend (February), Easter week, Memorial Day weekend (end of May), the Fourth of July, Labour Day weekend (September), Christmas, New Year's, and other holidays, are packed times.
