This is a small state park at the northern end of Santa Cruz' scenic West Cliff Drive and a little over a mile from the Boardwalk, wharf and Main Beach. A couple of times a year you can see Monarch butterflies during their migration. They are not in the numbers of years past, but you'll still see some. If you walk north towards the rocks during low tide you will find some amazing tidepools full of sea anenomes, sea urchins, starfish, crabs, hermit crabs, and all sorts of marine life. The tidepools are on a ledge, so the tide needs to be quite high

The only thing good about the cottage is it location other than that everything else is poor. We booked room for 6 but room can really fit 4. The cottage looks bigger in pictures than it really is. We payed $1280 for two days stay, for that price the towels were never changed, beds were never made ...
