Exploring the Pacific Coast

First trip we took outside the city was along south Highway 1 heading across beautiful Pacifica Coast, Half Moon Bay till small city Santa Cruz frequented by surfers. We took several stops on our way to enjoy views of the ocean, to watch sea lions and to visit Pigeon Point Lighthouse. Santa Cruz is definitely worth visiting as there is such a relaxing atmosphere. People enjoying beach, surfing, skating, having margaritas or just having fun at the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, an oceanfront amusement park.
