    Admission included

    Salt air and the low hum of boat engines greet you the moment you step onto the docks at Santa Cruz Harbor. Fishing vessels unload their morning catch while pelicans perch on the pilings nearby. Whether you stroll the waterfront promenade or linger over clam chowder at a harborside spot, Santa Cruz Harbor rewards a slow, unhurried visit.
