Despite all of the drama surrounding Santa Cruz as of late, my husband and I had brunch at a lovely little place called Johnny's Harborside Restaurant and Cafe.
From inside you gaze at a Santa Cruz Yacht Harbor and Monterey Bay. Made me feel like we were back in Marina Del Rey. How I miss those boats.
Brunch was delicious. The Harbor Benedict was so decadent...crab cakes were involved. :) The trio of seafood tacos were huge, fresh and delicious as well...enough for sharing in my opinion. Just FYI.
After a brunch like that we needed a stroll, so we meandered down to the lighthouse at the end of the harbor. It was spectacular. Once we passed by Seabright Beach, we were suddenly flanked by countless colossal jack-like concrete structures lining the jetty. Those buggars will be there 'til the end of time. Let's hope Santa Cruz reinvents itself. It's too beautiful to just let itself go.
