Santa Cruz is a great place to stop whilst on a road trip from San Fran to LA. A girlfriend and I decided to do exactly that, we'd spent a number of days travelling all over California, and we thought we'd visit the place where Lost Boys was filmed. Did we see any vampires...no..but loads of hippies. We found a motel to stay which was well priced, about $60 a night located two blocks from the beach and the famous Santa Cruz boardwalk. The first thing you notice whilst walking around are the amount of hippies there are around the place. People mostly in their mid 40s-60s smoking substances unknown to me, and wearing rainbow coloured clothing - very friendly, but a little weird. There are plenty of coffee/laundrette shops that boast a better collection of art than a museum. Nightlife seems non-exsistent, but plenty of cafe/bars. Lots of action can be found on the boardwalk, where most of the scenes of Lost boys were filmed. There is a lovely old fashioned fair where most of the locals seem to hang, it has a great wooden rollercoaster, amusement arcades, candy floss(cotton candy), other fairground fast foods. A fun place to visit!!!!!
