This is one of my favorite spots to view the bay. It feels touristy looking at it from afar, but once I'm actually on it, I'm always delighted. If you go to the end you can watch the seals below basking in the sun. (right across from ice cream shop). Such a unique vantage point.

The famous Santa Cruz Wharf is home to many seafood restaurants and local shopping. This is also home to the local seals! Watch seals in their natural habitat while enjoying a bite to eat or doing some shopping.

This place has it all! Good food, souvenir shops, barking harbor seals! Really can’t be missed.

Right next to the Boardwalk! We love watching the sea lions and eating the clam chowder at Dolphin's (close to the end of the wharf).
