A college town, a hippie enclave, a surfer's paradise — Santa Cruz, Capitola and the small towns that line the northern coast of Monterey Bay are many things. All of them are appealing for someone looking for a day, or a weekend getaway: the traffic heading down 17 every summer is testament to this. With both forests and beaches, these charming seaside towns offer tons of relaxing distractions. Try out our recommended guided activities to get the best of all worlds, whether it’s looking out for marine life, taking a train through the forest or tea by the sea.
