Beautiful Pacific Ocean, warm October sunshine, and cool ocean breezes is what awaited us in Santa Cruz, California last week.

Fall-holiday in Santa Cruz

The family decided to take a fall-holiday in the beach town of Santa Cruz last week where we spent the week working and on-line schooling -well the family did that, while I enjoyed the waves and lazing around with a book 😄.

Weekdays are the best time to go to the beach

Honestly, the best decision we made was to take a quick week-day holiday, because Monday-Friday Santa Cruz is quiet and peaceful making for a fabulous beach getaway. I know not everyone has the luxury to work remotely, but if you can take time off and head to Santa Cruz on a weekday, a wonderful experience awaits you here where locals walk by and smile and wave and the local bakeries and cafes are relaxed and fun. Here is a look at a few pics from our little fall-holiday in Santa Cruz.
