Pleasure Point . . . A Saturday in September

September in Santa Cruz is amazing - I can't get over it.

Last Saturday, one of my daughters joined me for a walk on East Cliff Drive. There were lots of surfers in the water. A beautiful day, even when waiting for the perfect set.

We walked from the parking lot at 41st Avenue (The Hook) down to 26th Avenue (and back). On the way to 26th Avenue, we went the beach route. Once we got to 26th Avenue, we cut though back neighborhoods. We're both interested in architecture and landscaping and it was fun looking at the different houses - some very modest and some totally remodeled.

The Pleasure Point area is unique. Originally modest, always eclectic and charming. Still many very small "beach shacks." Then there are those that have been remodeled over the years, and turned into the cutest and/or most magnificent beach houses you have ever seen.

A beautiful photo!  I haven't been to Santa Cruz in several years, though I'm just in San Francisco and have no excuse not to get over there more often.  Thanks for sharing!

Wow, very nice. I too have not been a quite a long time.  You have reminded me that it is time for a visit.

Hi MarQuis! Yes, the weather is amazing. I can't stop raving about it. Idaho is not that far, is it? Thanks for stopping by and do let me know if you visit!

Awesome picture. There is an outfit in Santa Cruz that makes world class Racing boats named Santa Cruz -Ha how fitting. I have  a client who would like to buy one next season and sail it around down through Panama. I'm half thinking of doing that leg of the trip with them. Great spot you have there!
