Situated on postcard-perfect Monterey Bay, Santa Cruz is a college town with majestic redwoods, gorgeous beaches, and some of the best surfing on the West Coast. Local arts organizations and festivals, including Shakespeare Santa Cruz and the Santa Cruz Symphony, wisely stage many outdoor performances each year so that their audiences can enjoy both nature and art simultaneously.
