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.

This place for ships to anchor in Eastside Santa Cruz is well-liked by travelers, so leave a spot for it on your travel itinerary. Don't think the sightseeing ends there, however. There are a lot more options waiting for you to experience after Santa Cruz Harbor. Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Mystery Spot and Natural Bridges State Park are close by.
