When we planned to drive from Redwood City to Santa Cruz, instead of going close to the Santa Cruz Beach Broadwalk we instead headed towards Mitchell's Cove beach and parked our car around that place. We didn't go down to the beach but plan was to walk from this point towards Broadwalk as there is nice pathway around the coastline to enjoy varied views of the ocean and activities around it's beaches. This blogpost shares about some of the activities or things you can do while walking around the cost from Mitchell's Cove Beach to Lighthouse Field State beach, and then finally towards Santa Cruz Broadwalk.
