(at Santa Cruz Harbor)
The Santa Cruz Boardwalk dates to 1865, when John Leibrandt opened a public bathhouse near the mouth of the San Lorenzo River. Other bathhouses followed and scores of tourists began visiting Santa Cruz to partake of the natural remedy of bathing in salt water.
The Boardwalk is a California Historic Landmark. In 1989 the Boardwalk joined other California historic sites including the governor’s mansion, Hearst Castle, and the state capitol building as California Historical Landmark #983.

Hope for the future
comes in waves
crashing over my head
thrashing me to the ground
unable to locate

rinsing my mouth
