About Davenport

Set along Highway 1 about nine miles north of Santa Cruz, Davenport is a tiny coastal village wedged between the Pacific and the Santa Cruz Mountains. With just a few hundred residents, it has a wonderfully peaceful, rural feel. The area started as a nineteenth-century whaling landing and later grew around a historic cement plant, and today it is home to a tight-knit community of surfers, craftspeople, and longtime locals.

Daily life revolves around the outdoors, with rugged bluff-top paths, uncrowded beaches, and coastal hills right in your backyard. The town center is compact, anchored by local favorites like Whale City Bakery where neighbors gather for morning pastries and coffee. It offers a quiet, oceanfront lifestyle while keeping Santa Cruz's shops and schools just a fifteen-minute drive down the road.
