We love Santa Cruz and are familiar this West Cliff area. Seabright Beach is beautiful with easy access to Lighthouse and Boardwalk. However first time doing van life and was surprised to be parked on street in beautiful residential neighborhood. Kept thinking we'd be moved along. OK for 1 night as was very small for 2 people and nowhere to sit outside since we were on the street. Would have worked a lot better if close to bathroom and running water or were able to benefit from a sea view. Host was pleasant, and happy to help when and if we needed her.
