I’m Dreaming of a Santa Cruz Christmas?
The MSN travel site has Santa Cruz listed as one of the top 10 great places in the world to spend Christmas. Santa Cruz a December destination city? Thoughts of Santa Cruz are usually of warm summer days spent wearing T-shirts and cut-offs on the Beach Boardwalk, not of Christmas.
The site suggests the Pleasure Point Inn and the Harbor Inn as two uppity places to sleep over, and they say the chef at Casablanca is said to turn out some fine cuisine. Me thinkist they had a wee bit too much nog in their Eggnog.
Visiting Santa Cruz is like taking a trip back in time to the hippie/surfer lifestyle of your, or your parents’, youth. It is the kind of village-by-the-sea where comfortable is staying over at a motel with a chair pushed up against the door and ‘good eats’ is fishie finds out on the wharf.

Santa Cruz is great for Christmas. Capitola at night is beautiful with all the lighted palms. The Holiday Lights Train thru SC is amazing. They serve hot cider, sing Xmas carols, Santa and Mrs Santa stop to visit with each family and it’s a lot of fun. The SC harbor has the lighted boat parade, Capitola has a tree lighting and Santa surfs into the beach. It is endless all the great things to do here for the Holidays!
