7. Santa Cruz, CA
First visit Natural Bridges, then have a look at the Hook and later on drop by Steamer Lane. Relax at Harbour Cafe and order a drink and a light meal. Rent a car and have a drive around the town to see how beautiful it is. There is plenty to see and do from morning to evening! At last, fly a drone or, if you are interested in music rather than extreme activities, listen to some indie rock at The Catalyst.
