Summer in Santa Cruz
What is Summer like in Santa Cruz?
Has it always been this hot, have we always had traffic, tourists, fog and waves?
Starting in 1903 these five postcard snapshots from Santa Cruz history take you back to see a Santa Cruz not so different from today. With bathers in the surf, fog in the mornings and evenings, great food and beautiful views pretty much everywhere you look. You may find yourself surprised at just how perfect Santa Cruz summer has always been.

LIGHT HOUSE This is one of the most interesting attractions in Santa Cruz. The light house point is the dividing line between the ocean and the Bay of Monterey.
We are having such a nice time + a good rest down here. Know you would enjoy the surf bathing. Hope you are well.

The Monarch Butterfly migrates to Pacific Grove each winter from Northern Canada and Alaska. They return to the same group of trees in Butterfly Park at Pacific Grove, California, each year.
We all hope your cold is better. We are on our way to Carmel to swim. The sun comes out once in a while. But we still love it here. We are going to cab out to-night. See you Saturday I guess we will be home around 12 oclock or after. Love El

Dear Gus: –
Top of the morning to you! We are having the jolliest kinds of a time, taking in everything. And talk along appetite – I’m afraid your golf suit won’t hold me when I get back.
