Pacific Avenue

Fodor's Review:

When you've had your fill of the city's beaches and waters, take a stroll in downtown Santa Cruz, especially on Pacific Avenue between Laurel and Water streets. Vintage boutiques and mountain sports stores, sushi bars and Mexican restaurants, day spas and nightclubs keep the main drag and the surrounding streets hopping midmorning until late evening.
