Another Santa Cruz Sunrise

📍 Santa Cruz, CA

My little sister and i have been going out every morning to watch the sunrise. We pick up some pan dulce on the way and a coffee and we wait for the sun to push over the mountain ridge. We recently have been seeing some otters play in the surf. Last time there were two little ones and today there was just one. Seemed like he was about to crack open a clam. What a great way to start your day ☀️🦦

The Mystery Spot Santa Cruz?!
You walk in thinking it’s just a normal cabin… and then suddenly nothing makes sense. At the Mystery Spot, you’re watching balls roll uphill, water flow the wrong way, and somehow people change height right in front of you. And even when you know it’s an illusion… your brain still won’t accept it

🎡 Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk – MUST DO LIST 🌊✨
If you’re thinking about going… this is your sign. GO. Here’s what you cannot skip 👇 🎢 Must Do Rides: • Sky Glider – The view is EVERYTHING. Ocean on one side, boardwalk on the other. Instant main character moment. • The Giant Slide – Yes, it looks scary. Yes, you scream. Yes, it’s worth it.
