Description: This postcard captures the rugged coastal scenery at Santa Cruz, California, showing churning surf crashing against rocky outcroppings along the shoreline. Green algae-covered rocks and a coastal road or bridge are visible in the background under a partly cloudy sky. Santa Cruz's dramatic Pacific coastline has long been a popular subject for postcard photographers and collectors of California coastal views.
