Things To Do
Sight-seeing: Natural Bridges State Beach
One of the most picturesque beaches in Santa Cruz, just a 20 minute drive away.
Roadtrip: Big Sur
A one or two night stay in Big Sur can be an amazing continuation of your West Coast trip after the wedding. Some places we recommend camping or renting cabins at are: Fernwood Campground, Pfeiffer Big Sur campground, and Big Sur Campground & Cabins.
Sight-Seeing: San Francisco
Spend a day or two in our beloved city by the Bay. Reach out for any recommendations on food or activities!
Fun in the Sun: Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk
A great place to lay in the sun, go for a swim, and get lunch. There is a small amusement park as well for the kids!
Mount Hermon Adventures
Feeling up for an adventure? Just a 20-minute drive away is an aerial adventure park where you can zipline or do an obstacle course!
Explore Beaches: Davenport Cove aka Shark Fin Beach
There are several beaches in Davenport (just a 20 minute drive down the mountain and 9 miles north of Santa Cruz), but this is one of our favorites. (aka Shark Fin Cove)
Swimming: Junction Park
Popular local spot just a short drive from Waterfall Lodge for cliff jumping and swimming. Santa Cruz's most famous swimming hole is also nearby and called, Garden of Eden (Henry Cowell Redwood State Park). Just know that it is a steep walk down a hill and you'll have to be ok with the possibility of a few nudists!
Hiking: Berry Creek Falls Loop Trail
This is suppose to be one of the best hikes in Big Basin Redwoods State Park. It's considered moderate, and it's an 11.2 mile loop. We're going to explore the area this Summer and also recommend a few shorter hikes in the area.
