Couple novelty shops and some really nice but semi expensive restaurants. Can watch and hear the sea lions go at it all hours of the day. Lots of benches to sit and watch the sea. Public bathrooms. Not much compared to Fisherman's Wharf in San Fran though. Dont expect much but isn't a bad place to spend the afternoon.

I enjoy the sunrises here. Today I even had the opportunity to call for assistance with a sea lion who had fishing line around its neck.
The Harbor Headquarters were happy to help. Thank you for caring

Would have gave 5 stars if not for the two drunk Mexican men. Just trying to ruin someone's good time. Hiding in the shadows. Called one paragraph on account he was too short to be an essay.

I don't care how much they charge for a Santa Cruz sweater on the wharf, there is a special place in all of our hearts for that ocean city

There are certain places I keep coming back to like a moth to light Santa Cruz is definitely one of those places. I was born in Boulder CO I'm a high altitude weirdo I'm among my people at sea level in Santa Cruz.

A variety of shops and eateries that line the water, it's a gorgeous stop and worth your time! There's ice cream and candy, gift shops, fried food, you name it!

Always a great time on the wharf. Beautiful views area is clean. Vehicles are safe when parked here. Plenty of food souvenirs and anything you need while traveling! We come back here time and time again. So fun.

We really love the Santa Cruz Wharf. Parking was a breeze. Gilda's restaurant is fabulous. Stagnaro's really good. The Dolphin is typically great. I drove from our hotel to get lunch to bring back. They would not supply a to-go order. Very disappointing. They said that one of the cooks didn't show up for work.
I went the next day and it was back to normal.
Can't wait to go again.

It was a warm and beautiful day. Too bad the Santa Cruz boardwalk was closed. Only the shops and arcade were open.

My second time here, first time was at night. Either time of the day you go it's breath raking and beautiful. The seals are just amazing! OMG you can even see Steamers Lane

So fun. Fun little stores and delicious restaurants. Don't miss the sea lion peep hole. We could've watched for hours.
