Things To Do

Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park

Located in Felton, Henry Cowell Redwoods State Park’s wheelchair and stroller-accessible Redwood Grove Trail circles around the park’s oldest and largest trees. More trails crisscross the San Lorenzo River and its steep, redwood-covered canyons

Capitola State Beach

A quaint seaside village exists in the colorful, seaside shops and restaurants tucked into a hillside along Soquel Creek. Wandering the village and its bay front promenade — window shopping and snacking along the way — is a quintessential part of any Santa Cruz experience. Be sure to find the salt water taffy store! This is great place to grab some lunch, go shopping, or have a beach day!

Roaring Camp

Visit the areas's first railroad (1875!) and the surrounding town. Go for a nature hike, take a ride of the steam train, and admire a historical California town.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Quintessential Santa Cruz theme park on the water. Get your corn dogs and funnel cakes! Make sure you buy tickets in advance. This is a full day activity.
