Sports and Recreation

The surfing scene in Santa Cruz County is unparalleled, earning our town the nickname "Surf City," but we also offer much more when it comes to outdoor activities. Those wanting to embrace the local healthy lifestyle can also try scenic bike rides, kayaking, camping, whale watching, hiking in the redwoods, sailing, mountain biking, kiteboarding and skateboarding. Santa Cruz County is home to Capitola's Wharf to Wharf foot race, the Santa Cruz Mountains Challenge cycling event, and the Longboard Invitational surfing contest every Memorial Day Weekend, among others.
