Are you looking for a town that has it all, or at least is near it all. Santa Cruz is set along the Pacific Coast of California in the Monterey Bay. Well known for the cement ship as Seacliff Beach, big waves, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Natural Bridges and Monarch Butterflies.
Santa Cruz is located 30 minutes from San Jose which makes it a popular commute location for those who want beach living; Also, just 60 miles South of San Francisco which makes going to the city easy with a beautiful drive up Highway 1.
Tye and John, I am not looking for a beach home in California, but your title got me interested enough to open your post. Good job. Sounds like a lovely area.
Thanks Sheila... We really are blessed to be in such a beautiful area... Enjoy the day!!!
