Thank God for a good day in Santa Cruz and San Jose March 3, 2020

Started the day with breakfast and then on to Santa Cruz!

 


Good stuff. Now a 30-40 min drive to Santa Cruz! Yay!

Natural Bridges state beach

 

 


 




Funny thing about his area is that its free to park for a couple minutes and supposedly you have to pay after but there is lots of side parking a few yards away from the parking lot. Just do a little trekking. After this I made my way from the Arches to the boardwalk area.





Going to the boardwalk and wharf.

 


 


 


 


 


 


 






There was various areas like Pyramid beach, Mitchell cove, Steamer lane, Surfing sculpture, West cliff, and etc... as you drive your way from Natural Bridges to the Boardwalk. Lots of surfers as you enter West Cliff and steamer lane area. Advice here is that you can park by some residential areas for free providing you can find side parking. As you get closer to the boardwalk its all pay parking from here. So trekking is involved if you want to save some money.

The boardwalk is only open on weekends though it was nice to survey around. Some eateries and gift shops were open on the wharf but I didn't eat or buy anything. You can see Sea Lions towards the end of the walk.

Back to San Jose

 


 


 


Close to where Delma's market was is the Monopoly in the park playground. Construction was everywhere so maybe not a whole lot of people were around. Nice area. 









Finale and dinner

 


The car that took me places

This was it. I decided to just eat at In-and-Out for dinner and prior to that I went to Grand Century Mall where mostly Asian people frequent; its a Asian shopping mall to be exact with mainly Vietnamese eateries. Anyhow, next time!
