LOCATION: :
We are located near Twin Lakes Beach and the Yacht Harbor, midway between Capitola and downtown Santa Cruz (both 10 minutes away). There are six fabulous restaurants within walking distance, ranging from a Hawaiian grille to a high-end Italian restaurant, and my personal favorite, Southwest-inspired Nuevo Grill. A short walk down the beach will bring you to the yacht harbor where you will find the popular Palomar Mexican restaurant and the Crow's Nest. The Crow's Nest is a great place on Wednesday to watch the sailboat races or enjoy the sunset, a glass of wine and a bite to eat. Great appetizers! Also within walking distance is a corner food store, liquor store, deli, coffee house, video store and a farmers market on Sunday.
THE BEACH IS TWO BLOCKS AWAY:
Blacks Beach (our beach), at the end of 14th Avenue, is the secluded end of Twin Lakes beach and a locals favorite. The beach is stunning and offers some of the best sunsets in Santa Cruz; it is also great for boogie boarding, light surfing and swimming. Dogs are allowed on leash and bonfires are permitted at night.
