Being a life long local this is hilarious haha

I've lived in Santa Cruz my entire life. I'm not sure why I'm watching this, but I am. Lol. Also, we have one of the best salt water taffys around. Inky downfall is it's so expensive to live here.

I've been living in Santa Cruz all my life and I have no reason to be watching this.

Fun fact: The Boardwalk was used two horror films, in the film "The Lost Boys" and recently in "Us". Don't forget to walk East Cliff dr. and enjoy the beautiful ocean view, surfers, lighthouse and the natural bridge. Lived in Santa Cruz my whole life and can't see myself moving anywhere else, love it here.

Where lost boys was filmed in the film it’s called Santa Carla but it’s really Santa Cruz

Most underrated ride at the Boardwalk is the carousel. As you go round on horseback, you snag tokens from a dispenser on the end of a boom coming out from the wall. Then you try to chuck them in the mouth a clown on the next wall. It’s a wonder more people don’t lose fingers or fall off the carousel. I totally recommend it!

I’m from San Jose and I have so many memories of Santa Cruz growing up i fuckin love it

santa cruz is so underrated

Another excellent video Chris! Perfect for my PCH trip next month.

Go to the Shadowbrook Restaurant in Capitola. Very unique on a hillside with a funicular taking you downhill to the restaurant. And for my two cents worth, the wine in Sonoma County is just as good as Napa with a better price point (disclosure: I live there).

The Boardwalk is awesome! Lots of druggies in town though...

Wow, the last time I was in Santa Cruz was the late 1980's. I ran in the Wharf-to-Wharf road race. Great time and a great event!

thank you for a mini vacation. I love train rides, especially amongst the tree. Nice to see you and Toffer again. !!!

Dude you are phenominal. Great info, great enthusiasm, subbed !

Santa Cruz looks great! Nice video!

thanks for the video, I haven't been to Santa Cruz in a while, will check out the train tour.

Love the panda :D and this video actually help me learned a lot more abou the city. Been here every year the last few years and no idea there's that pretty village in Capitola. GREAT WORK!!

Thanks for making your travel vlog informative and fun!

Santa Cruz is also just 40 miles north of Monterey. New Brighton beach is where the cement boat is located, put there during WWII; really great bakery that also serves lunch called The Buttery on Branciforte; the harbor with hundreds of boats has a great restaurant called Crow's Nest (harbor located between Santa Cruz and Capitola); best place for lunch or dinner is Carpo's in Capitola next, to the off ramp. Hope this helps.

Love your videos. I would always check out the do’s and don’t for certain places before I go there

This is my husband and my favorite spot. Haven't been able to go there the last year or so. Miss it!!! Especially now...

I made my way to Santa Cruz and your vide made my trip great !!! Thank you. You are the best travel video !!!!!

Thank you! I use to live in SC! Love this little slice of life!

Great video! Thank you so much.

You forgot the “Santa Cruz locals only” motto

Thanks for the video ❤

Thank you for a very informative video and entertaining to

Good memories from this place :) thank you

Santa Cruz !😍

🙌🏾🙌🏾 Santa Cruz !!!!

Funny that you said that the Red Wood Forest looks like it's out of a storybook. My son was obsessed with Alice in Wonderland when we went on a California road trip several years ago. We camped up there for two nights, and visited the Red Wood Forest, before taking that train through the forest. Anyway, he got ahead of my husband and I and got lost for a while. He was running ahead of us and looking for big holes in the trees, pretending he was gonna fall through the earth to Wonderland. Needless to say, we were scared until my husband found him five minutes later. However, I was with a forest ranger looking for him, and didn't know he had been found until about 30 minutes later. He was very upset, having lost us. We barely made it in time to the train, but fortunately, all worked out well. I will never forget that. As for the boardwalk, we loved riding the carrousel and trying deep fried Oreos. We tried to go to the Mystery Spot, my son's wish, but didn't realize that we needed reservations. My husband didn't want to wait the 2.5 hours. Another time, though. Great video, as always, Chris! :-)

Just got home from there had a blast went fishing aswell

Great video !

I went to UC Santa Cruz but I definitely went out and beyond to explore the city and county while I was there. My favorite places to go was the Nickelodeon and the Del Mar Theatre, the Museum of Art and History or MAH (especially during their annual festival with lights and fire), and some of the unique stores along Soquel Ave. Definitely miss Tam’s, Pacific Thai, the Walnut Avenue Cafe, and the Santa Cruz dinner with Toya Sushi being a great place for lunch too. Can’t wait to go back this autumn!

Sili”cone” Valley is Los Angeles. Sili”con” Valley is in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Great job!

I lived in santa cruz in 1989 after I came home from the military. I was friendlier to the locals by my early twenties. I loved this town. Monterey and Santa Cruz are like night and day. The Lost Boys was filmed here. I went to the catalyst and 99 bottles and the union and the boardwalk and so on.

I live in Aptos, 10 miles south. traffic, traffic, traffic and more traffic. count on 1 plus hr in traffic for 10 mile drive from any direction to get to Santa Cruz

I'm watching this video because next week I'm heading up to that place. Great video. 🙂

Ey bro!!! xD I have to watch this vid for home school i am from germany The task is :watch this video(this) and make a list of the things that are shown. Transform your list into a text containing 80 words. The title should be "Things to see and do in santa cruz" HAHAHAH YOU CAN FEEL PROUD BECAUSE YOU ARE A TASK FOR SCHOOL IN GERMANY (hltler is death ;)

Awesome travel guide! Concise but details on a variety of activities, and even how to prepare. I can't officially endorse this video where I work (I checked). But I am definitely going to be referring this video on the sly to as many people as I can.

I live in santa cruz its so fun i litaraly just went to the boardwalk last week

Best video ever

Tips to the tourist traps in Santa Cruz. Try steamers lane on west cliff, and the surfing museum. Capitola if you need touristy, and Rio Del Mar for a less crowded beach experience.

Have lived my whole life in Santa Cruz, and I highly agree with all your choices. You really did your research!

This was entertaining as hell man, debating comitting to SC so this helped a lot. When you said the pizza would fill your billy, i died laughing.

Awesome :D

I miss Santa Cruz 🥺💔 Ohhhh quarantine...

Go to Santa Cruz every year! And I just got back yesterday from spending a week in Santa Cruz and I wanna go back!😢😢

I’m from. Wildwood New Jersey so this feels like my California home definitely coming here for my visit in summer not to mention lost boy’s vibes

I'll be at Santa Cruz next week at some point! I'm a blind person, from the UK, coming with my family. I'm thus looking forward to: the boardwalk, the Hallmark shop with the noisy ornaments, and I think my Aunt has booked the steam train. I've got some questions, though. 1: Firstly, the boardwalk: We'll check out the boardwalk as I know there's some rides with sounds and music on such as the haunted castle, ghost blaster and cave train. Hopefully I'll try out Undertoe as well. However my question is, how would you describe the difference between Undertoe and Giant Dipper? Is one more intense than the other? Do they have boardwalk barkers (the people saying to step right up and win a prize, trying to get people to play?)? I've always wanted to hear a real carnival barker in action. I know it's an odd question, but there it is. We don't have barkers in the UK on any of our piers. My next random question, is there anywhere that does chocolate chip cookies? Especially warm ones. Thirdly, is there any live music, or possibly any karaoke bars? Lastly, is there anything else anyone can recommend? I love anything that has audio to go with it especially, or any place with stuff to touch/hands on type approach that could be different. Anything cool for the senses besides vision? Thanks in advance.

I worked one summer many moons ago at Easter seals camp Harmon and on day off's would venture to Santa Cruz I have happy memories of going to the Blue Laguna as they didn't measure the drinks as a brit I found that hysterical :)

Thank you

MY NEW FAVORITE KZfaqR HANDS DOWN

Just don’t run off by yourself. Always have a buddy...or you’ll regret it.

Go to Davenport. It’s right up from mission street, just pull over at any of the pull outs on the side of the road and you will find some of nicest and most private beaches you’ve ever been to.

Also home of the Santa Cruz Warriors, G league of the World Champions Golden State Warriors🤙🏽

lmfao dude at 8:03 was like uhhh can I help you

Great tour video 🤗I live in Modesto, ca and my family goes to Santa Cruz beach boardwalk every year except the last 2 years. But this year I'm suprising my husband for his birthday and I reserved a weekend for us in Santa Cruz 😊👍😁 your video just made me happy to go

Would love to see the city and the boardwalk add more businesses in. More rides and night events!!! 😍

Yesss 😁

Nah this dude killed it this is cool.

I been there and i had a churo there, and it was delish.

Planning to go back to Santa Cruz this summer with some friends I've met at school who have never been there before! That long stretchy Boardwalk by the beach is the only reason why I'm bringing some friends there for the first time! I'm doing the Boardwalk because it has the only carousel I like and the Giant Dipper in which I recently rode this year during Spring Break. Their carousel is a must-ride because riders on the outside row participate in the ring and clown game as well as have a wonderful red horse and a gray horse with white hair that has a decorative head. The gray horse with white hair and a decorative head is my favorite horse in that carousel btw. Other rides I'll do there when I come with friends are Cave Train, Shockwave, the Pirate Ship ride, Undertow, and the most popular ride there, Giant Dipper.

Santa Cruz looks beautiful! I like how there is a good mix of things to do in the city itself as well as different things out in nature. The coastline looks really cool! In fact, there is also a Mystery Spot up in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan near the Mackinac Bridge. I haven't been to that one, but I'd be curious to see how similar or different it is to the one in Santa Cruz.

I love santa Cruz I was there long time ago.Still beatyfull City. I had friend Dave Ferrari from 312 national street. I am from Czech republic

I live just north in the Santa Cruz mountains. This was so fun and a great video to share with visiting friends! Too bad you missed the Bigfoot Museum in Felton! If you had parked at Henry Cowell instead of Roaring Camp, you would have seen it on Hwy 9. Next time ♥️

My Santa Cruz ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😊🥰

The panda is just chilling😂

We're visiting in June from Illinois. I'm so excited! I have a feeling I won't want to come back to IL!!

Don’t forget the great nightlife of college students and 50 year old uber drug addicts; a perfect combination.

We are going to visit San Francisco, los angeles and las Vegas this year, the tipical roadtrip. :) And santa cruz is now on our list too. It looks really interesting :)

I miss Santa Cruz 😢 ❤

Lived here my whole life, why am I watching this.

You should do more Northern California videos

Got the opportunity to walk down the levy for a couple of miles today. The river looked beautiful ,but wow the things I saw were not for the faint of heart. A guy shooting dope into his foot, another guy pooping at the waters edge , three guys under the water Street bridge stripping a pretty nice looking mountain bike ,a bunch of needles and that was before I even got to the camp. I didn't even want to go into the camp but I wandered further down the path where I saw guys hanging out under the highway 1 bridge making multiple dope deals with the PD 50 yds away. I used to take my kid down that path when he was in a stroller but I would have to explain way to much adult stuff .

Umm so I am watching when coronavirus is happening and we’re going Cuz the day I am going is Labor Day or Memorial Day I am a kid and I love Santa Cruz am so excited

i already know the background story behind the yellow color and the name of the production. but i just wanna know do you purposely buy things in yellow just to go with the channel or it almost happens to be one of your favorite color? what is your favorite color?

I've been in Santa Cruz for so long also my parents own a restaurant in Santa cruz

Red will be waiting you at here

I'm already judging this video so hard as a local😂

How to by bus from San Jose to Santa Cruz? Any idea?

lol I loved seeing everyone’s faces trying to dodge being in camera view

WOAHH NELLY!

When you mentioned Pizza My Heart, you said, "I'm not saying their pizza is the best". But, they literally are the first American pizza to ever win the "Best Traditional Pizza" prize at the International Pizza Competition in Las Vegas. (voted the best pizza in the world)

Ive never been to Santa Cruz but I know its located on the west coast somewhere, near Los Angeles CA

The banana slug cracks me up

I live in Pacific grove (monterey) .. santa cruz is lovely, not sure why people talk so negatively about it online.

How long is the drive from Los Angeles to Santa Cruz? I'm trying to find a few little mini vacations my family can take this summer and this is definitely an option.

Kool video what about blue lagoon bar? Were they good girls are 😉😎😉😎

Oh wow trees roaring camp is filled with people from over the hill I go up to roaring camp everyday to mountain bike

I’m staying at that hotel! How far is it to walk from there to Some Of the attractions?!

8:00 Talk about killing the moment 😂

I am moving to Capitola this October . Wish me luck 🍀

Wow looks similar to Daytona...Wooden Roller Coaster, Boardwalk etc....

You missed like all of my favorite places!!! I live supper close it there and go there all the time!

I just Love Santa Cruz and Monterey Bay Thank You!! I'll be back!!!

I have gone to All of these places you guys should go because it is very VERY fun

If you like live music, check out The Catalyst, located downtown. For food, if you like Crêpes...check out The Crêpe Place. And if you play disc golf...be sure to bring your plastic and play DeLaveaga Disc Golf Course. One of the best courses in the world.
