At Santa Cruz Museum of Natural History

Seabright, Santa Cruz

"The tide pool exhibit is touchable and well populated"
Live bee hive buzzing with activity
Gift shop has thoughtful finds for all ages

Step right onto the sand after exploring local sea life, Ohlone artifacts, and a buzzing live bee hive at this pocket-sized coastal museum. It's a low-key afternoon of taxidermy, tide pools, and California history with the Pacific as your backdrop.
