TRAVEL TIPS

Whether you have traveled here from over the hill or another part of the world, thank you for visiting our

“sunny side” of the Monterey Bay. Santa Cruz County is one of the smallest counties in California, yet it contains a wide variety of beautiful scenery and hosts dozens of microclimates. Here you will find the Santa Cruz Mountains with its redwood forests, acres of some of the world’s most fertile farmland, long sandy beaches, and ocean bluffs. It is also the gateway to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, supporting one of the world’s most diverse marine ecosystems. It is home to numerous mammals, seabirds, fish, invertebrates and plants in a remarkably productive coastal environment.

In close proximity to our wonderful county is Monterey County. These rich and varied environments make the Monterey Bay area an exciting vacation destination with something of interest for everyone. This guide will help you to locate all of our special activities, attractions, restaurants, and accommo-dations. Whether you visit one of our award-winning wineries, hike in our state parks, ride the roller coaster, take a walk on the beach, or do it all, we’re glad you’re here!

1) Always wear sun block, even on cloudy days2) Dress in layers for morning fog and afternoon sun.3) Never turn your back on the ocean. 4) Wear long pants and long sleeve shirts when

hiking in local forests to avoid poison oak, insect bites and ticks.

5) Always check ocean conditions for rip tides and heavy or dangerous surf.

6) For road information and heavy traffic updates, call 511 from cell phones and 800-427-ROAD (7623) from land phones.

7MONTEREY BAY TRAVEL ADVENTURES • APTOS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE

Do you love good wine? The Santa Cruz Mountains Appellation

is nestled in one of the most unique natural environments in the world. Varied microclimates create ideal conditions for the three main varietals of the region. Chardonnay and Pinot Noir flourish in the cooler climates aided by the area’s coastal fog, and Cabernet Sauvignon thrives in the hotter inland areas of the region. There are over 70 boutique, family-owned wineries between Half Moon Bay and Watsonville, but there is nothing small about the flavor and

character of these wines. Finding them can be an adventure in itself, as a fair number of wineries are tucked away on mountain roads that cut through redwood forests. Many have stunning views of the Monterey Bay. You will be rewarded with friendly and knowledgeable winery staff to help you taste these wonderful wines, and often you will be talking to the winemakers themselves; an intimate experience. The Santa Cruz Mountain Winegrowers Association has many programs to help you experience local wines. For wineries

without tasting rooms, there is a Passport Program which gets you into these wineries four times a year, once each season. A major benefit auction is held in May and the Vintners’ Festival is held the first two weekends in June, so you can easily buy and taste hard-to-find wines. Call 831-685-VINE(8463) or go to www.SCMWA.com to receive a brochure with all the wineries, maps, events, history, and a list of restaurants who serve local wines. Welcome to “America’s Premier Mountain Appellation.”

Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Markets Serving our communities on the Central Coast since 1976 Farmers MarketsFounded in 1976, the Monterey Bay

Certified Farmers Markets (MBCFM) is the oldest and largest farmers market orga-nization on the Central Coast of California. It is comprised of a family of four farmers markets with locations in Aptos, Carmel, and two in Monterey. Each market has its own unique style that reflects its community. Two of the four markets operate year-round. The Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Markets have won multiple awards in recent years, including “best farmers market” in California, Santa Cruz County, and ranks second in the U.S. by American Farmland Trust.

Our Bountiful RegionThe Monterey Bay region, from the North

Coast of Santa Cruz County to the tip of Monterey, is an extremely rich agricultural area that is home to a remarkable number of outstanding organic farms, wineries and food purveyors. The region is also esteemed for being a leader in sustainable and organic agricultural practices. In fact, Santa Cruz is the cradle of the organic movement dating back to 1967 when Alan Chadwick and students transformed a rugged hillside at University of California Santa Cruz into an abundant garden using hand tools and

organic amendments. Our region is now home to more organic operations than any other area in California.

Our TeamThe farmers markets are a team effort of

farmers, vendors, and marketing staff led by Executive Director Catherine Barr. Since 1993, Catherine has dedicated her efforts to expanding the markets in local commu-nities and championing the preservation of small family farmers. In 2010, she was awarded the prestigious “Al Smith Friend of Agriculture Award” for her outstanding service to the agricultural community by the Santa Cruz County Farm Bureau. From humble beginnings, Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Markets have grown into thriving farmers markets that bring our communities together in appreciation of the rich bounty of our region.

The Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Market maintains two website resources for the community. The primary site is www.montereybayfarmers.org. The com-panion site, www.edibleparadise.com, is devoted to culinary education and sea-sonal recipes for cooking locally grown food.

Accommodations


By TARMO HANNULAFor Monterey Bay Travel Adventures

For a new take on enjoying the natural beauty of Santa Cruz, try a two-hour adventure out on the Monterey Bay

aboard the Chardonnay II, a 70-foot luxury sailing yacht. The relaxing charters they offer are more than a simple sail, they also include a wide array of freshly prepared food, regional wines and quality beers and friendly company.

The Chardonnay II, a sleek, designed-for-speed cutter, with a 65-foot mast and nine feet of draft, seats 49 people with plenty of space to stretch out and move about. Operating out of the Santa Cruz Harbor year-round, each two-hour sailing adventure com-monly offers a mix of energized sailing and relaxing inner bay stretches, which are ideal for reloading your plate or a beverage refill. Each of the Chardonnay II charters are tai-lored to a particular theme, revolving around good eats and specialty wines, beers, sake and the splendors of Mother Nature.

The themed public sails include Tuesday and Thursday night special charters, wild-life and whale watching, a pizza charter, Champaign brunch charter, the Taste of Santa Cruz, the Brewmaster, Wednesday night races, Pono Hawaiian Grill, Akira Sushi Sunday, the Sunset Charter, the Winemaker Charter and others.

Michael Nelson said he has been out on the Chardonnay II several times.

“What better way is there to take in the beauty and the peacefulness of the ocean than to go out on this amazing boat,” he said. “I like the experience of feeling the ocean; it’s not just being out here on the water — it’s a special feeling. You never know what you’re going to see out here: humpback whales, gray whales, bottlenose dolphins, and por-poises. Every trip is different.”

Organizers also make the Chardonnay II available for private charters to accommodate social events, work parties, special events, and burials at sea. For those interested in a hands-on sail, you can charter the yacht for a comprehensive “team-building” experience where you will learn how to sail the boat.

Kim Steiger said she won a two-hour sail at a raffle.

“It was gorgeous being out on the bay,” she said after disembarking from a Sunday sail. “I highly recommend it. The crew was fabu-lous, the water was lovely. It was a wonderful adventure that I hope to repeat. Everyone on board was so nice.”

Chardonnay II boasts a variety of amenities to add to the enjoyment including a CD player and iPod hook ups. The 135-square-foot galley contains a built-in bar and keg system, generous storage space, a food prep area with more than 20 feet of counter space, pres-surized running water, two large refrigerators,

two restrooms, and a microwave oven. The galley also houses a spacious dining area, which will comfortably seat up to 16 adults.

“It was a delightful sail,” said John Rasnick at the close of a sail. “It’s such a good way to relax. All the girls were so helpful and nice. The food was good, the wine was good. I like that they let people steer the ship — it’s a nice touch.”

Commissioned July 12, 1991, in Santa Cruz, Chardonnay II was designed and built by Bill Lee Yachts Inc. of Soquel. Bill Lee, designer and builder, said the style of the sail-boat is a cutter-rigged sailboat, built with the same hull shape as the famed Santa Cruz 70 sailboat that Lee said is enormously popular in sail racing communities.

The ship can motor at 13 knots and motor-sail at 16.8 knots. Lee said the cutter design means it has one mast with one main sail and two jibs. Asked to sum up the Chardonnay II, Lee simply said, “Fast is fun.”

Ryan January of Kansas said the sail was one of the best ways to enjoy the Monterey Bay.

“It was great,” he said. “I loved it and I’ve always loved being out on the water. They have the best pizzas. The service was amazing. I can’t wait to come back.”

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk:

By ERIK CHALHOUBFor Monterey Bay Travel Adventures

For those looking for a slice of vintage with a modern flair, look no further than the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

It may be more than 100 years old, but the Boardwalk still has a youthful vibe that not many other centennials, and other amuse-ment parks, can keep up with.

Santa Cruz’s premier tourist destination is home to amusement rides, arcades, minia-ture golf, restaurants, stores and more.

And of course, it’s located right along the

beach.It’s the mix of old and new that gives the

Boardwalk its unique charm. New attractions are mixed in with older ones, and modern architecture intertwines with those of yester-day.

The newness of the park goes beyond aesthetics. In October 2013, the Boardwalk opened its new roller coaster, Undertow, replacing Hurricane after 20 years of opera-tion.

Undertow, a $5.5 million investment for the park, is manufactured by German coaster

specialist Maurer Sohne. It takes four riders per vehicle throughout 1,410 feet of track. Standing at 50 feet tall, a total of seven cars are on the track at any given time.

However, Undertow isn’t a conventional roller coaster. Each car spins freely through-out the course, and depending on the weight and number of riders in the car, each ride is a different experience.

But the centerpiece of the Boardwalk is fittingly located right in the heart of the park: The 92-year-old Giant Dipper roller coaster.

Opening on May 17, 1924, the National

Where vintage meets the modern day


Amusement Park Historical Association lists the Giant Dipper as the oldest roller coaster in California, the fifth oldest in the country and the ninth oldest in the world.

The nearly two-minute ride stands at 70 feet tall, reaching speeds of 55 mph.

La Selva Beach resident Nicholas Laschkewitsch, regional representative for American Coaster Enthusiasts Northern California, called the coaster “one-of-a-kind.”

“The Giant Dipper is a gem among coast-ers,” he said. “It’s rare nowadays to find such a historic and well-loved wooden coaster, and the Boardwalk has done a fantastic job of

preserving it for future generations to enjoy.”The coaster was designated a National

Historic Landmark by the U.S. National Park Service in 1987. It was also designated an American Coaster Enthusiasts Roller Coaster Landmark in 2007, and celebrated 60 million riders in 2012.

The park’s 1911 Looff Carousel was also named a National

Historic Landmark by the U.S. National Park Service in 1987. Designed by Danish wood-carver Charles I.D. Looff, the carousel is one of only a few carousels in the world still fea-turing a working ring dispenser, according to the Boardwalk.

As the carousel spins around, riders are challenged to throw those rings into the “mouth” of a clown drawing, and if successful, they are awarded with the lighting up of the clown’s eyes and bragging rights.

Music for the carousel is provided by a 342-pipe Ruth und Sohn band organ built in 1894.

For families with little ones, don’t fret: The Boardwalk has you covered.

Keeping up with the theme of what’s old is new, Kiddie Cruzers made its debut in 2014, a completely-restored small ride for the young ones that was built in 1949 by the Allan Herschell Company of New York.

The ride consists of six cast aluminum vehicles, which include a fire truck and taxi cab, that travel in a circle around the base.

Todd Manoff, mechanical maintenance manager of the Boardwalk, said he located the ride in Meriden, Conn. Maintenance crews gave the ride a Santa Cruz flair to fit in with the themeing of the Boardwalk, transforming one car into a woodie and placing a Santa Cruz Fire Department logo on the fire truck, among other finishing touches.

The Boardwalk’s flair for preserving old and new is recognized on an international level.

The park took home the title of “Best Seaside Park” for the eighth time at the Golden Ticket Awards ceremony in 2014.

The Golden Ticket Awards, presented by trade newspaper Amusement Today, is an annual event that has been described as the amusement industry’s equivalent of the Oscar’s. Amusement park owners and man-agers, ride manufacturers and other industry officials gather at the event.

Winners were selected by amusement park enthusiasts from around the world.

The Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk is located on 400 Beach St. in Santa Cruz. It offers 35 rides and attractions. For information, visit beachboardwalk.com or call 423-5590.

For the past 13 years a free, outdoor salsa dance gathering has been

offered to the public at the base of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

Salsa by the Sea, held on a wide deck beside the Ideal Bar & Grill restaurant, a stone’s throw from the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, offers Latin American music and a friendly, all are welcome setting.

“I’ve been salsa dancing for the past six years,” said Charlotte Hemmer of San Jose. “It’s pretty difficult but so much fun. The salsa community is very diverse. Salsa can really reach out and grab you.”

Run by a group of volunteer disc jockeys, the event mixes a blend of Columbian, Cuban, Puerto Rican, Central American and Mexican music. Dances include salsa, cha cha cha, mambo, merengue, bachata, cumbia, timba, Mambo, and Guaguanco.

“What I like about Salsa by the Sea is it’s a great way to spread the joy of dancing,” said DJ Willi Prudencio, who played his blend of music for the dancers on a recent Sunday. “I enjoy celebrating what I consider my culture. This is about

good company, great friends, and every-one enjoying something that is safe, multi-cultural and no one is excluded.”

Prudencio was born in El Salvador and raised in Monterey. He has taught dancing for the past 10 years, and has focused on salsa and bachata for the past six years.

The event was founded and is headed up by Trace Farley of Santa Cruz.

“It started really small,” he said. “But it began to grow over the years. Then it was 15, then 20 people. It wasn’t really big until a few years ago when we started getting over 100 people.”

Farley said that one day a police officer asked if he had a permit and he replied he had no idea such a thing was neces-sary. So he applied with the City of Santa Cruz.

“I learned these things can take months,” Farley said. “The city was very supportive of us and I applied on a Tuesday and by Friday we had our permit. And of course the Ideal Bar & Grill has always welcomed us.”

Farley, who is from Sacramento, said anyone is welcome with any level of dance experience.

“People come out and just jump in

free style and that’s just fine,” he said. “Sometimes I help people learn a few steps. Salsa by the Sea is about the joy and the love of dancing.”

Anahi Her said Salsa by the Sea is a great addition to Santa Cruz.

“I came to this for the first time about two weeks ago and it is addicting — it is so much fun,” she said. “It’s a way of celebrating my roots. I grew up dancing these steps.”

Farley said he has seen people that have met at Salsa by the Sea and gotten married.

“Yes, there have been a few salsa babies that were born out of this,” he said. “If you’re interested in dancing with us, come on out. Maybe take a few classes at the Palomar Ballroom. We have people that come from San Francisco, Monterey, and from around San Jose. If you are not dancing you should be.”

Salsa by the Sea runs year-round on Sundays from 3 p.m. to sundown near the base of the Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf.

For a unique, close-up window into the ecosystem of the Monterey Bay,

trying hopping into a kayak and paddling your way into the Pacific or into the tran-quil waters of Elkhorn Slough. Thanks to the folks at Kayak Connection, who operate out of Moss Landing and the

Santa Cruz Harbor, and Monterey Bay Kayaks, who have a location in Moss Landing and Monterey, the experience is made simple and accessible.

Jess Grigsby, who owns the 25-year-old Kayak Connection with her husband, Dave, said the Santa Cruz location offers kayakers a chance to paddle out of the Santa Cruz Harbor and onto the open sea to take in Santa Cruz’s iconic sights such

as Steamer’s Lane, Lighthouse Point, the Municipal Wharf and the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

“Just being out on the open sea in a kayak is a unique experi-ence,” Jess Grigsby said. “The wildlife, the Monterey Bay Sanctuary, fresh air and exercise are a great combination. Also, the Elkhorn

Slough experience is sheltered and most often calm with so many species of birds and the world’s largest population of the southern sea otter. The minute you set out in the water you are immersed in interesting wildlife; you don’t have to paddle really far into the slough before the show begins.”

Both companies offer an array of tours led by marine biology experts that focus on giving people a maximum of educa-tion of the ecosystem and its inhabitants while having fun. Grigsby said people can rent kayaks and take off by them-selves or sign up for a tour. People on the tours are first given a safety lesson and instructions about how to kayak in a fun and relaxing manner and what to do if you capsize.

“It’s really easy and we want everyone to get the most out of their experience,” Grigsby said.

While both companies offer similar tours and classes Monterey Bay Kayaks offers “sit on top” kayaks, which are geared toward beginners.

“The sit on top is easier for children because if you flip over you are not inside the kayak and you can easily regain yourself,” said Holokai Brown, program manager.

“We also offer stand up paddleboard rentals and tours. Our wetsuits are pro-vided at no extra cost because we want everyone to be safe and warm.”

Bird enthusiasts are encouraged to tour Elkhorn Slough in a kayak to take in the vast array of species. One option is the “we paddle, you photo” tour where an experienced kayaker tows your kayak so you can be hands-free to use your camera and binoculars.

The businesses will rent to a child as young as 5 if they are in the company of an adult. They take children as young as 3 on tours.

“We have a staff of 45 people,” Grigsby said. “We are a close knit family. It’s a cohesive fun group.”

Ocean kayaking offers a chance to see a host of wildlife including orcas, blue whales, harbor porpoises, harbor seals, and risso dolphins. Grigsby said whale watching tours launch from both loca-

tions but only experience kayakers are allowed on tours out of Moss Landing because of the dangerous waters at the harbor entrance.

“One of the exciting things is getting to know how diverse and amazing Elkhorn Slough is,” Grigsby said. “Most people that just drive by have no idea what wildlife is out there and how easily acces-sible it is. The first time I paddled up on a group of sea nettle jellyfish was incred-ible.”

A truly different experience in a kayak is the Starlight Bioluminescence Tour, Grigsby said, where you can discover the phenomena of the bioluminescent summer bloom. Bioluminescence is the emission of light from living organisms.

“It starts by going out for a sunset tour and once it is totally dark out you can see the bioluminescence in the water, drink hot chocolate and see your paddle glow as it moves through the water,” she said.

Grigsby said Kayak Connection fre-quently entertains large groups, even up to 100-plus of students, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts and team builders.

Monterey Bay Kayaks can be reached at 800-649-5357 or at www.monterey-baykayaks.com. Kayak Connection can be reached at 724-5692 for Elkhorn Slough, the Santa Cruz Harbor at 479-1121 or www.kayakconnection.com.

Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk

Shopping onPacific Avenue

The Mystery Spot

Santa Cruz means Holy Cross in Spanish and began as a Spanish settlement in 1791. Today it has a population of over 60,000 and is the largest city in Santa Cruz County. Santa Cruz

sits on the north edge of Monterey Bay about 72 miles south of San Francisco. It’s probably best known for surfing, but with miles of beautiful coastline and a moderate climate, surfing is just the beginning of the many adventures awaiting you on this pristine beach-front paradise.

Santa Cruz

Visit the many boutiques and bookstores along Pacific Avenue. The Pacific Garden Mall is the main shopping district in Santa Cruz. Between the shops take in a movie or browse the Museum of Art and History. Coffee houses and nightlife are also abundant in our downtown region.

Downtown, Santa Cruz

Spend a day at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, the West Coast’s best seaside amusement park: 27 rides, miniature golf, Casino Fun Center and arcade. You won’t run out of things to do at this admission free park. Take in the sun and build sand castles on the beach or ride the roller coast-ers. Bowling, miniature golf, and laser tag are great indoor activities if the sun gets to be too much. When you are ready for a meal, the Municipal Wharf has a great selection of seafood restaurants.

Capitola / Soquel

Santa Cruz Mountain wines await and Soquel and Capitola contain great places to experience those wines. A favorite on Main Street in Soquel is Bargetto Winery, which recently marked more than 80 years in operation. Finish off the wine tasting with a delicious lunch at one of the many eateries in the area, and stop in at a few antique shops.

Capitola evolved out of a settlement known as Soquel Landing named for a wharf at the end of Soquel Creek dating back to the 1850s. Sitting on the northeast shore

of Monterey Bay, Capitola is known for its steep cliffs and beautiful beaches. Capitola Village is a popular tourist destination for its excellent restaurants and one-of-a-kind shops and galleries. Soquel sits next to Capitola on the north side of the Cabrillo Highway. It shares many of the great qualities of Capitola and if you are into antiquing Soquel Village is a must-shop destination. For more information on restaurants in the area, see page 34.

If you are looking for a superior campsite New Brighton Beach has more than enough shower/restroom buildings to serve all its campers. It boasts gorgeous scenery, fishing, hiking, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding.

Summer Events

Stroll along the streets of the quaint Capitola Village. Grab your morning coffee and watch the waves crash from a bench over-looking the ocean. An amazing place for shopping, Capitola Village has numerous small shops and boutiques. When lunch-time comes around, visit Zelda’s and enjoy your meal on the patio which has an amazing view of the beach.

Enjoy an afternoon stroll along the esplanade or a walk on Seacliff State Beach. Grab a picnic on your way to the beach or stop in for casual lunch at at Aptos’ selection of restaurants. Make sure to bring your camera to remember the views of a historical wonder, the SS Palo Alto cement ship. The visitor center at Seacliff State Beach is a great place to learn about the area’s natural wonders.

AptosThe Ohlone people originally named Aptos which means “the meeting of two creeks.”

Probably the most mispronounced area in Santa Cruz County, the residents say it “app-toss.” Aptos is especially unique with the Forest of Nisene Marks and Seacliff State Beach within walking distance of each other. Nisene Marks has some of the best hiking and mountain biking in the world. Seacliff State Beach hosts the concrete ship SS Palo Alto lying in the water. If you are camping in an RV, Seacliff Beach is one of the best places to spend the weekend.

Seacliff StateBeach

Tucked into the center of Santa Cruz County, tiny Aptos Village offers a surprisingly wide range of shops, wine tasting rooms, restaurants and activities.Enjoy the small treasures of our antique stores and boutiques.

BeachesPerhaps one of the most accessible of Santa Cruz County’s myriad natural areas, is Nisene Marks State Park.With a long, flat road leading into its center, the park has several hiking areas readily accessible by vehicle.Many visitors drive in past the entrance station and park in the lot near the steel bridge, which is about a mile in and a perfect place to begin a walk.For the ambitious and adventure seeking types, the park offers 30 miles of hiking trails winding through 10,000 acres, with sites that include Five Finger Falls and Maple Falls. The entrance is a short drive up Aptos Creek Road past Epicenter Bicycling, which rents bikes for anyone interested in taking a two-wheel tour of the park.While the fire road is the only place where biking is permitted, it has become a favorite of mountain bikers as it stretches for miles to the north and allows for long

rides.However visitors choose to travel through the park, they should be prepared to leave behind the hustle of city life and enter a verdant, silent green place where the forest largely muffles man-made noise.Cabrillo College Historian Emeritus Sandy Lydon said that many potential visitors don’t know about Nisene Marks, assuming they must drive for hours to the Sierra Nevada Mountains to see a truly beautiful park.“You walk in, take your sunglasses off and its like, ‘wow! Instant peacefulness,’” Lydon said. “You can go in and clear away the cobwebs from your head. All the noise and stress you feel can be cleared away in 10 minutes.”

Moss LandingWhile traveling south on the Cabrillo Highway from Santa Cruz to

Monterey you will find the small harbor town of Moss Landing. On a clear day you can easily spot Moss Landing from anywhere on the Monterey Bay by its immense smoke stacks rising up from the local power plant. But don’t let the industrial appearance fool you - Moss Landing is rich with wildlife and natural wonders. Originally named Moss, to honor Charles Moss who built the wharf as a whaling port, the name was changed in 1917. Today the Moss Landing Harbor berths over 600 boats: including fishing boats, pleasure craft, research vessels, and tour and charter boats.

Kayaking &Paddleboarding

Sportfishing

If you are looking for a paddling adventure the Elkhorn Slough is a perfect destination. It features tranquil calm waters and is a little less crowded than some of the other spots on the bay. There is a good chance you’ll see a lot of special sea life including sea lions, sea otters, and too many different species of birds to name here. Get everything you need from lessons to rentals from the Kayak Connection at 2370 Highway 1.

Always popular are the whale watching tours and because Moss Landing is at the heart of the bay it’s a prime location to start looking for whales. The Monterey Submarine Canyon begins right offshore which means it’s only minutes before you’re over deep, cold, nutrient-rich water that attracts all kinds of wildlife. There are plenty of tours departing year-round and there are whales for all seasons. In the spring we have Humpback Whales, with a few Gray Whales in the beginning of the season. In summer look for Humpback Whales, Blue Whales, and Fin Whales. Fall has Humpback Whales and Blue Whales while during the Winter months watch for Migrating Gray Whales.

Come out to the bay and book a charter for a fabulous day on the water with your friends and family! Several deep-sea charters supply visitors with all the essential equipment for a great day of fishing. Moss Landing offers stunning views and great stocks of salmon, bass, crab, halibut, rock cod, albacore, sand dab, blue mackerel, coppers, vermil-ions, and lingcod. Fishing licenses are required so call ahead to make sure you’re ready to go with a valid permit.

Hiking Camping

Big Sur can easily compete for one of the most beautiful places on earth and can only be experienced in person. No visit to the

California Central Coast is complete without at least a hike and meal at this epic recreational haven. Big Sur’s Cone Peak is the highest coastal mountain in the contiguous 48 states, ascending nearly a mile (5,155 feet/1571 m) above sea level, only three miles from the ocean. This unique terrain, natural beauty, and isolated area attracted such famous writers and Hollywood superstars as Elizabeth Taylor, Richard Burton, Henry Miller, Edward Weston, and Hunter S. Thompson. Orson Welles and his wife Rita Hayworth owned a cabin here, which is now the location of a popular restaurant, Nepenthe.

If you love to hike this is the place! Featuring many different terrains from beaches to mountains there is an adventure for all ages. Wade through mellow streams while hiking in lush tree lined valleys. Climb to the top of high ridges for breathtaking 360-degree views of the Pacific Ocean on one side and three million acres of mountain-ous wilderness on the other. Be sure to bring your camera because you will want to remember these sights for the rest of your life.

Big Sur can accommodate any kind of camper. Whether you like to rough-it or prefer a luxury RV there is a camp site to meet your needs. Streamside camping is available in the Big Sur Valley and ocean view, bluff camping is available in the southern end of Big Sur. There is tent and RV camping on both sides of the Big Sur River which features seasonal catch & release fishing, swimming and inner tubing. Many sites offer tent cabins as well as luxury “cabin style” rentals.

Explore the natural wonders of Big Sur with a cruise down Highway 1. Your first stop is the Bixby Bridge which introduced automobile travel to this remote coastal area. Next stop the historic Point Sur Lighthouse, which sits atop a volcanic rock. Head over to Pfeiffer Beach with its purple sand and waterfall plunging into the Pacific. When you’re ready for a snack stop by the River Inn and enjoy a beverage while sitting in the cool relaxing stream.


A n abundance of the freshest ingredients grace the tables of our restaurants and cafés. We celebrate gourmet homemade sausage, hand-cut pastas and plenty of organic produce. As you’ll find, there is always variety. Everything

from fine dining to casual fare plus a great selection of ethnic foods is readily available. While you’re here, be sure to taste some of the locally caught seafood, try some Santa Cruz Mountains wine, or visit one of the many farms in the area. If a meal on the beach suits your mood, there are plenty of delis with ready-made-foods available to fill your picnic basket.

Dining on the Monterey Bay

Restaurant Directory

Long considered a “must do” when visiting the Santa Cruz County area, the Shadowbrook Restaurant, established in 1947, is an enchanting place overlooking Soquel Creek. Walk through fern-lined pathways or a ride in the hillside cable car down to the restaurant, where a variety of dining areas, each with its own special charm, await you.

Manuel’s Mexican Restaurant has been in business for 50 years. Its popularity is due to good food, the down-home ambiance and friendly service. Located near the entrance to Seacliff Beach State Park, it’s a convenient stop for locals and tourists alike. Named after the founder, Manuel Santana, the cozy restaurant has a casual atmosphere, moderate prices, and family-friendly environment. Some fun Mexican

artwork is on display at the bar, where a glass of local wine or a good “cerveza” awaits you. Manuel’s greets their customers in true Mexican style with a bowl of chips and salsa. The now-famous salsa is so popular that it can be bought in jars to take home. Even the labels have Manuel’s colorful touch, designed by the founder himself. Lunch specials are served Monday through Friday, and a daily regional special is featured after 5 p.m., such as Mole Poblano on Sunday. Manuel’s serves up a mean margarita and a good selection of beer, wine and spirits. Some of the staff has been at Manuel’s for more than 20 years.
