Ocean front room is the best. You have views of the wharf & SC beach boardwalk. The Aquarius restaurant has great views and awesome food!
All the rooms have an ocean view and the pool is the perfect spot to hang out all day with drinks and food from the onsite restaurant.
Amazing views. Worth it. I would go back in a heartbeat.
happy hour on wednesday comes with great views and prices. go with the nachos!
Eat upstairs around sunset for a delicious meal (the salad bar is a must!) with an amazing view!
Pacific Swordfish with parmesan crust (served with steamed vegetables and artichoke risotto) was the best fish I had in years - not to mention the breath-taking view and excellent service!!!
Beautiful stretch of beach with dramatic views and lots of rocks to climb
Awesome place. Great sunset. Lots of people. Costs $ to park
A hidden gem along California's coastline. Stop by during sunset for scenic views of the last remaining "natural bridge" out of the original 3.
No matter what the weather is... The view is always breathtaking...
Go there during a sunset, anywhere on the cliff and just relax with some friends
Amazing views. Relax and go with the flow.
Beautiful, clean, great beach. People do their own thing and its lovely. I love the views, especially at dusk and when there are sailboats.
Lovely beach with bathrooms near the museum and views of the boardwalk.
Great views, nice Beach to walk and just sit and relax.
Really cool rides with a beautiful view of the seashore! Read more.
Really fun but crowded. Had great seafood at the a Mexican restaurant and beautiful sunset
Idyllic amusement park with awesome views of the beach.
Wonderful views but parking can be tricky. Watch out for bird attacks!
Very nice ocean view
Clam chowder with a view to die for.
Amazing view! I go here every Thanksgiving. Advise to go to the south side of the lighthouse and enjoy the view! Amazing!!
Amazing views
Watch surfers in action in the mornings. Check out the surf museum under the lighthouse too!
Smoke a bowl & watch the sunset. Beautiful.
Sand, view, quiet
Come watch the sunset
Very beautiful at sunset.
Stunning views but gets crowded after 9. Great place to watch the surfers in the early morning.
Breathtaking views of the ocean. Check the weather and go, high winds are common so carry a jacket/skull cap. Lighthouse is a well 0.4 miles away from the parking lot and another flight of 308 steps!
Go on the day when the low tide is right around sunset. If it's a clear night, you can get some moon-surfing in. No crowds!
Walk the west cliff, beautiful view, dream houses, lighthouses, secluded beaches, if your lucky there will be big waves because it's a great place to surf gaze...
A cherished spot, be careful of locals if waves are rare. On days where waves are plentiful, the spot is amazing (for all skill levels).
Cute place, very nice staff, very smokey restaurant, average food, fresh-smelling restrooms, beach view.
Awesome view and the strawberry Margueritta is da bomb!!
Wonderful wait staff today, clean but worn inside, air not bad but not fresh, restrooms only slightly perfumed, Fantastic View!
You're paying for the view. It's not a bad view, it's a great view. You've just got to decide if that view is worth it. For me it was… once.
Ernesto's pasta was yummy!!! My husband had the Cioppino and loved it!! We are definitely going back next time we are in Santa Cruz!
Cute museum in the lighthouse. Also, a great view to watch surfers.
the arch at the very north west part of the dog beach is nice for photography. You can get to it during low tide. check your tides app or ask alexa when’s low tide?
Love the park area for locals dog meets!
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
