On the Cover

A quick trip over the hill on a recent hot day was a great escape . We stopped in at our favorite eatery on the other side of the hill — the famous Gayles Bakery in Capitola for some late lunch to go . We ordered baked chicken and their amazing gorganzola pasta . Then we headed to Capitola Beach and arrived just in time to catch the boats coming into Santa Cruz harbor after a day on the water . This sailboat was just passing in front of Walton Lighthouse , named after Merchant Marine Derek Walton in 2002 , when I was able to snap this image . Get to Capitola and Santa Cruz beaches , and make sure to stop in at Gayles Bakery !
