: A Santa Cruz day trip filled with scenic views and sweet treats! Here’s the plan: 1. Cruise along West Cliff Drive, a 3-mile coastal path with breathtaking Pacific Ocean views. 2. Experience the nostalgia at the historic Boardwalk amusement park. 3. Indulge in heavenly chocolates at Donnelly Chocolates - among the top 10 in the world! 4. Unwind at vibrant Capitola State Beach, surrounded by colorful vacation rental houses. 5. Immerse yourself in the charm of Capitola’s seaside town, with palm trees, florals, beach bungalows, and murals at every turn. How many of these 5 places have you been to? I’m planning to go to Santa Cruz again & I’d love to hear your recommendations for my upcoming trip! #santacruz #capitola #capitolabeach #beach #beachlife #travel #explore #sf #sfbayarea #bayarea #california #centralcoast
