About Pleasure Point

Pleasure Point is a small Santa Cruz County coastal community known above all for surfing. It sits east of Santa Cruz proper, with low bluffs, beach access, and a neighborhood scale that feels more local than resort-like. The official census-designated place is small, but the name carries a larger coastal identity tied to surf breaks, wetsuits, oceanfront paths, and laid-back Eastside Santa Cruz life. Pleasure Point feels casual, salty, and intensely shaped by the Pacific just beyond the front yards.
