Our guide on where to stay in Pleasure Point

Find the best Pleasure Point areas and neighborhoods for the activities you enjoy most. Learn more about Pleasure Point
This is a small state park at the northern end of Santa Cruz' scenic West Cliff Drive and a little over a mile from the Boardwalk, wharf and Main Beach. A couple of times a year you can see Monarch butterflies during their migration. They are not in the numbers of years past, but you'll still see some. If you walk north towards the rocks during low tide you will find some amazing tidepools full of sea anenomes, sea urchins, starfish, crabs, hermit crabs, and all sorts of marine life. The tidepools are on a ledge, so the tide needs to be quite high

I recently stayed at the Seacliff Inn and overall had a very pleasant experience. The highlight of this property is definitely its beautiful, scenic environment. The grounds are incredibly peaceful, with a charming bridge and a lovely pond that make the setting feel almost like a hidden retreat. ...
