Pleasure Point

Pleasure Point, CA 95062, USA

East Cliff Drive in the Pleasure Point neighborhood of Santa Cruz overlooks the expansive Pacific Ocean and some of the best surfing in the country.

Park at the free lot at the end of 41st Avenue and walk along the ocean. Take the stairs down to the cove beach at 38th Avenue for the calmest swimming in Santa Cruz. Once you’ve had your fill of ocean air, shop at the surf and vintage stores on 41st Avenue and Portola. Grab a coffee at Verve Coffee Roasting, sushi at Pink Godzilla, or pizza at Pleasure Pizza.
