Workation in Santa Cruz: the essentials

Surf culture defines Santa Cruz, a city of about 63,000 on the northern edge of Monterey Bay, where Steamer Lane and Pleasure Point rank among California's best-known breaks. The Spanish founded a mission here in 1791, and the Beach Boardwalk amusement park has drawn visitors since 1904. UC Santa Cruz occupies a redwood-covered hillside above town and gives Pacific Avenue downtown its slightly alternative feel. Bay Area money has tightened the housing market, the water calls for a wetsuit all year, and Highway 17 over the mountains to Silicon Valley is a slow, winding road. A few coworking spaces exist, and San Jose Mineta International Airport is about 45 km away.
