SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
Santa Cruz County, California

WITH COOL ATTRACTIONS AND HOT DEALS, WINTER IS THE PERFECT TIME TO VISIT SANTA CRUZ COUNTY
It's a little known secret that the locals aren't keen to share, but the winter months are a great time to visit Santa Cruz County, California. The summer crowds disappear from the beaches and the Boardwalk. Surfing is at its best with giant winter swells. This is the season for visiting the wintering monarch butterflies at Natural Bridges State Beach, or sailing the Monterey Bay to watch the migrating whales.


Winter is also the best time to get a great deal on a place to stay. From beachfront condos to quiet bed and breakfasts, Santa Cruz County offers a wide array of lodging options at discounted winter rates. A number of attractions, restaurants and retail shops are also running specials through the winter months. The following are some of the specials available to travelers to Santa Cruz County.
