Discover these places worth visiting in Santa Cruz and select a hotel nearby for ultimate convenience
UC Santa Cruz Arboretum & Botanic Garden
TTodemmyVarious dryland plants! You have to enter through the door next to the school. The ticket is $5. This scale is considered large in the United States. Many plants were introduced from Australia and Africa. These dryland plants are mainly promoted because of the current drought in California.
Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary Exploration Center
3358***33From San Francisco to Santa Cruz along the Pacific coast, designated as the Monterey Bay Area National Marine Ecological Reserve, this exploration center is a museum that introduces the protected area, and the content is very rich and worth visiting.
Natural Bridges State Beach
3358***33The seafront extends into the sea with a mountain by the sea, with a hollow running through the middle of the mountain, making it look like a natural bridge, taking pictures of the beautiful background.
Lighthouse Field State Beach
Ccoo***anThe park is on both sides of the road. To the left is the ocean and the beach and to the right are fields for running, walking, walking you dog, etc!!! Very beautiful area and it was full of butterflies today!!!!!! The beach was active and the waves were huge!!! Cool place along W. Cliff Dr.!!!!!
Seymour Marine Discovery Center
TTodemmyGreat activities for young people! We visited here on our trip from LA to SF. We were not disappointed! This is a smaller university research center with cheerful volunteers and students eager to help us experience marine life! There was an interactive "search and draw" which delighted our 5 year old daughter who found all the answers and our 2 year old son who was busy trying to keep up with her, and there were magnifying glasses hanging over the jellyfish tanks. The whale skeleton is huge and the views of Monterey Bay are amazing, be careful on the trails over the cliffs!
