When you land
Things to do in Santa Cruz
Santa Cruz sits at the northern tip of Monterey Bay, where the redwood-covered Santa Cruz Mountains meet the Pacific. It has a strong claim as the birthplace of mainland American surfing, which Hawaiian princes introduced here in 1885, and its surf breaks, including Steamer Lane, remain world famous. UC Santa Cruz occupies a forested campus above town, and the local economy blends the university, tourism, agriculture in the nearby Pajaro Valley and residents who commute over the hill to Silicon Valley.
