Set a few paces back from the sand and the surf, the Dream Inn sits directly atop the legendary Cowell Beach. This sandy spot offers beach volleyball courts, nearby street parking and the most famous surf spot in Santa Cruz, Steamer Lane. Just west of the Municipal Wharf, Cowell Beach sets the stage for spectacular views of the pier jutting out into the ocean, and is the perfect place to enjoy a colorful, awe-inspiring West Coast sunset.
