DRE 01475576 glawless@davidlyng.com genielawless.com 831.247.9891 RESTORATION FOUND SANTA CRUZ’S OFF-SEASON Wintertime in the Santa Cruz Harbor carries a hush that feels almost intentional, as if the town itself has decided to exhale. It’s a quiet time here, when the boats sit tucked into their slips, swaying gently but securely, like they know they’re exactly where they belong. Life aboard slows down too. Those who live on the boats keep warm and cozy with hot tea and coffee, stepping outside when the sun makes one of its many winter appearances. The Harbor beaches are nearly empty now, claimed mostly by locals….people walking their dogs, couples wandering along the shoreline, solitary figures pausing to look out at the water. The sounds become sharper in the quiet: fog horns calling out from the buoys, the rhythmic slap of wakes against hulls and jetty ‘jacks.’ I love the way the waves crash over the jetty and swirl around the Walton Lighthouse, powerful but unhurried, like they’re in no rush to be anywhere else. This is the season that invites you to slow down. If you’re looking for a moment to breathe, to feel the sand beneath your toes—and your dog’s paws too—winter at the Santa Cruz harbor offers it freely. No crowds, no urgency, just the steady pulse of the ocean and the gentle reminder that sometimes, stillness is the point. Oh, and bring your layers, it can be chilly! Selling the coast and enjoying the lifestyle.
