Santa Cruz, California, is located on the northern tip of Monterey Bay. Rugged coastline, abundant marine life, and spectacular sceneries abound. To the south of Monterey Bay is Big Sur, famous for it's rugged coastal beauty. One of my favorite areas though, is the stretch of coastline north of Santa Cruz. Between Santa Cruz and San Francisco there are over 70 miles of mostly undeveloped coastline. There are dozens of quiet isolated beaches to explore and the photo ops are virtually unlimited!
