Things To Do

The Wedding Website of Ali Palisca and Alexander Ettlin
These are our favorite spots in Santa Cruz!
West Cliff Drive Walk

West Cliff Drive Walk

West Cliff Drive, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Our favorite time to do this walk is with our morning coffee or at sunset.

The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park

The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park

Aptos Creek Road, Aptos, CA 95003

Drive all of the way down the dirt road to the end (about a 40 minute drive from Santa Cruz). Park and start your hike. The redwoods here are incredible.

Bantam

Bantam

1010 Fair Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95060

Date night restaurant! The menu often changes, seasonal creativity. They don’t take reservations and are usually busy all night, so you may want to get there early!

Linda’s Seabreeze Café

542 Seabright Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95062

Ali’s favorite college breakfast spot. They don’t take reservations and usually have a line out the door, but it’s so good! Ali’s order was always the Greek scramble with honey molasses bread or cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll is really the best.

Land of Medicine Buddha

5800 Prescott Road, Soquel, CA 95073

A peaceful sanctuary with a walking loop in deep in the redwoods. Our kids are fueled by dried mango and Alexander gets his meditation on before our hikes.

MIDTOWN FRIDAYS! SUMMER BLOCK PARTY

MIDTOWN FRIDAYS! SUMMER BLOCK PARTY

1111 Soquel Avenue, Santa Cruz, CA 95062

We head over here for some fun music and dancing on Friday nights! There's food trucks and vendors too. 5:00 to 8:30ish, next to the fire station
