This is a picturesque harbor for small boats. At the entrance to the harbor is the scenic Walton Lighhouse located on the west side. As a tourist destination, it also has several restaurants facing the harbor for a good view of the harbor while enjoying your food. If you stay on the west side of the harbor, you have ready access to the Seabright Beach. If you stay on the east side of the harbor, you will be close to the Twin Lakes State Beach. Beach Market This little shop is very charming and has many lovely items to take home. It also offers souvenirs, food, ice cream, and other things. Pizzas are great . The market is very clean and tidy, and the staff are friendly.

Nicely situated on the south of Santa Cruz with a good variety of boats. It's a crowded harbor, so always allow plenty of time for egress and entrance. Very pleasant to stroll around with nice restaurants and great views. Parking is pay in advance.

Beautiful scenery. The lighthouse is an interesting tourist attraction despite not being able to go inside the place. It still makes for great pictures with the ocean in the background.

Crows Nest Restaurant is our favorite waterfront "Happy Hour" place. Lots of appetizers at 1/2 price. Drinks a little pricey, but worth it for the view. Johnny's Harborside is good too and there is a Mexican Restaurant and coffee shop. They also have the cutest gift shop with food & patio. You can walk right out onto the beach ⛱️ 😎 Fun experience for all ages. 👍👍🥰
