PLAY
At Natural Bridges State Beach, gorgeous sandy shores and creature-filled tidepools lure beachgoers while a lush eucalyptus grove draws thousands of migrating Monarch butterflies each fall and winter. Leading to and from Natural Bridges is stunning West Cliff Drive, a multi-use, waterfront trail that teems with joggers, cyclists, and pedestrians basking in the glory of the Monterey Bay. Go at sundown for the real show! The historic dairy grounds of Wilder Ranch State Park features miles of singletrack trails for mountain bikers as well as the outrageously scenic Old Cove Landing Trail which ambles along dramatic coastal bluffs. The beautiful Natural Bridges Farm invites visitors to wander its bloom-filled grounds and fill a basket with fresh veggies, fruits, and flowers plucked directly from the soil.
SHOP
Much of Westside’s shops can be found in the always-hopping Swift Street Courtyard. Cameron Marks features stylish women’s wear, modern jewelry, and an irresistible collection of chic home decor. On Saturday mornings, the Westside Farmers Market transforms a parking lot into a bustling plaza with vibrant local fruits and veggies. After your tote is full, linger over destination-worthy brunch dishes such as egg-topped carnitas from Burn Hot Sauce and roasted cauliflower and queso breakfast tacos at Gordo Gustavo’s.
SIP
From pour-overs to pinots, the Westside is guaranteed to slake your thirst. At Verve Coffee Roasters, the boho interiors are nearly as much of a draw as their delicious, third wave brew. For coffee, and arguably one of the best breakfast burritos in town, the Westside Cat & Cloud location is the only one with a full kitchen, along with their full coffee and espresso bar. The high ceilings, cozy chairs, outdoor seating, and aesthetics make this spot easy on the eyes and the IG feed.
For oenophiles, the Westside is the next best thing to the vineyards thanks to a cluster of tasting rooms pouring local wine. You can’t miss the organically-grown, handcrafted, and award-winning wines of Silver Mountain Vineyard. At Bottle Jack, you’ll find great wine – winemaker, John Ritchey, has worked on winemaking teams for a number of favorite Santa Cruz Mountain wineries – and he takes pride in creating delicious wines that you can share over laughs with family and friends. You’ll find rare Spanish and Portuguese varietals at Santa Cruz Mountain Vineyard, refillable bottles of easy-drinking red table wine at Sones Cellars, and robust cabs and aloha spirit on the patio of MJA Vineyards.
At Venus Spirits Cocktails & Kitchen, enjoy handcrafted cocktails and food right next door to the distillery where our spirits are produced. If beer’s your thing, don’t miss the hazy, New England style IPAs and light-strung patio at Humble Sea, or the buzzing organic beer garden featuring seven flagship ales, seasonal ales, organic sodas and a full food menu at Santa Cruz Mountain Brewing.
EAT
At Companion Bakeshop, a line forms early each morning for a countertop filled with flaky, buttery pastries and Cat & Cloud coffee. Avanti Restaurant has been holding it down on the Westside for thirty years with their rustic, farm-to-table fare and seasonal cocktails. You can also snag expert cocktails at Bantam where a wood-burning oven churns out blistered Neapolitan pizzas and seasonal, organic plates. West End Tap & Kitchen is another favorite. Their Farmer’s Market Salad, flatbreads, and popcorn with lemon and basil infused duck fat are just a few things you should put on your must-order list.
