Guide to Davenport
Things to Do in Davenport
View MapSituated nine miles north of Santa Cruz along Highway 1, Davenport is a small, charming community facing the sandy bluffs of the pacific coast.
Consisting of just a few streets leading off the highway, Davenport has a lot to offer visitors in spite of its size. There are restaurants, cafes, art galleries, a post office and opportunities for wine tasting.
Visitors can take in some history at Davenport Jail Museum or set off for a day of strawberry picking during the summer at nearby Swanton Berry Farms. Beaches in the Davenport area are generally more blustery, feature dramatic cliffs and secluded coves that usually draw smaller crowds than the beaches of Santa Cruz.
