Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor, from the northwest corner of the upper (north) part of the harbor
The Santa Cruz Small Craft Harbor (also "Santa Cruz Harbor", but see below) is situated in Santa Cruz, California, on the site of the former Woods Lagoon. Built in 1962–1963, its public use specializes in boating and extracurricular marine activities for the local community and visitors.[1] The harbor straddles the city limits which runs down the center of Arana Gulch; the west side of the harbor is in Santa Cruz's Seabright neighborhood while the east is in unincorporated Santa Cruz County.
The harbor is split into two portions: the south or "lower" harbor and the north or "upper" harbor. The lower harbor was completed first and provides slips up to 60', and is itself split into an east and a west side. The west lower harbor contains docks AA, A–F, and FF; sailboat dry storage and hoist launch; a hand launch ramp for small, lightweight craft; and a small Coast Guard facility. It is adjacent to the Santa Cruz Yacht Club. It hosts a mixture of sail and power craft, and is the location for most of the harbor's slips over 40 feet. It is accessed off of Seabright and Atlantic avenues.[2]
The east lower harbor has docks L–T, a boatyard, the harbor offices, a launch ramp, the harbor's fuel dock, and a number of harbor-related businesses. Most of the commercial fishing fleet is berthed there, including facilities for off-loading fish.[3] Access is from 5th Avenue and East Cliff Drive; a water taxi connects the east and west lower harbor during the summer months.[4]
The upper harbor is separated from the lower by two fixed bridges; one carrying Murray St, the other a railroad line. Due to the limited clearance, powerboats and smaller sailboats comprise most of the boats docked in the upper harbor; many of the sailboats must lower their masts to pass under. Docks G–J and U–X provide slips to 45'. The upper harbor also contains the harbor's maintenance base, two dry storage areas, and the harbor's RV park.[5] Access to the upper harbor is from 7th Avenue.
