Top Vista points in Santa Cruz, United States

I was there Wednesday last ,80 that day ,incredible .....those pics were taken about 8:30 9 am

Beautiful views! Drove around and got lucky to snag a mid afternoon street parking spot. Me and my furson found a staircase down and followed it.
Ended up by the Boardwalk amusement park. We didn't go in (pets nor allowed) but so cute to see my boy get obsessed about tracking the Rollercoaster! We spent a good 10 minutes just on that.

Also appreciated the love he got from passers-by. On a day with better weather and when he has a little more energy, I know he'd love to get down to the sandy beach ⛱️.

Awesome just for the stroll and views.

Not many places on the West Coast where you can look out over the water and see the sunrise. Even less that can rival an East Coast sunrise, but this spot has it all ❤️

Wonderful place for sunset and blue moon!

Awesome beach with free parking. Close water access and great views of the ocean, Boardwalk and the other side there is a lighthouse.

Beautiful and quiet beach with many fire pits that will allow you to enjoy even chilly evenings next to the ocean

One of my favorite spots to pull up park and get out to get some stunning ocean views. A definite must stop whenever I'm in town. This morning was beautiful as always.

I went in the morning and found parking quickly. The view was incredible. There are a few picnic tables and other benches to sit on. It is a place definitely worth stopping by.
