Fit in a stroll along the water's edge and soak in the views at Santa Cruz Harbor. The blue sea and gently bobbing boats make an excellent photo opportunity.

To visit this place for ships to anchor, find your way to Eastside Santa Cruz. You'll find plenty of other things to see and do in the area, including Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, University of California, Santa Cruz, and Natural Bridges State Park.

8/10 Very Good! (1,007 reviews)
This was a good place for a quick trip to Santa Cruz. We stayed with our family of 5 for one night. There was plenty of space for all of us. They only have stairs so if you need an elevator you would need to request the first floor. The place is a bit run down however, if the only thing you need is a clean place with a bed to sleep in then this will work for you. The walking distance to the boardwalk was great. It made it easy for us to come and go as needed. Our room was right by the patio on the second floor where people would hang out and smoke. I wasn’t a fan of that because we could smell it in the room. The beds were not super comfortable but you get what you get for the price.

We stayed here for a family vacation, and it's the best spot. The customer service, property, and food are great, and our dog loved every minute of the trail. We’re coming back!
