If you are directing insults or foul language to another member of the community you'll probably be banned without warning.
Advocating or suggesting or joking about inflicting physical harm on others will probably also result in banning.
No Commercial, Business or "Classified' Posts
Commercial posts or "classified ads" (buying, selling, trading, giving unwanted things away for free), help wanted, job wanted, housing wanted, housing for sale or rent, for-profit events) not permitted. No surveys.
It's great to ask for recommendations ("Who's a good plumber? What's a good garage for Toyotas?") and it's great to ask for job seeking advice.
It is okay to advertise a local benefit/charitable event where proceeds go to a cause in the Santa Cruz County community.
No Nudity/Exhibitionism or Nudity for Shock Value/Personals or Dating Ads
There are more appropriate places to display your body or your primary sexual attributes (or those of your SO or some random stranger you got a pic of), so do it in those places. Posting NSFW is not enough; this is largely a community discussion group. Posting nudes for shock value is also not what this sub is about.
No nudes ever? At the discretion of the mods. If you get a shot of a parade of naked protestors marching down Pacific Avenue, that's not shock value: that's Santa Cruz.
Personals or Dating posts are better suited in personals or dating subreddits, there are more than enough to meet your appetites in that regard elsewhere on Reddit.

Mine would be Jeffery's. They use to be good 15 years ago, but now that place looks abandoned.
Going out for a friend’s 21st Saturday and was wondering what the best bar(s) are for more modern/2000s and 2010s music? Thanks!
I’ve got about 50 of these little shell/snail like things growing on my house, what are they? Should I get rid of them or are they harmless?
Are they all the same?
Let me know if you have an opinion on the best drive through car wash in the county. Which does the best job? Which is best value for money? Which ones should I avoid? I drive a rav4, so size shouldn’t me an issue.
Hi there. I was wondering if anyone knows of any poetry and/or writing groups here in Santa Cruz. Also, are there ever any open mic poetry events? Thank you!
Hey yall- I'm looking for a pawn shop to sell some jewelry. Anyone know of literally ANY pawn shops in the area? Google has given me nothing helpful.
I missed the cutoff on the MS society free ones, does anyone know of a place that sells them in town?
Is anyone doing this commute? Do you have any insight? Currently planing on moving back home trying to save some money as well. Looking at a role in SF that would be in office Mon/Thu and one more day for a ramp. Am I insane? At some point in the next six months would shoot for a move to Sunnyvale or somewhere nearby.
I’m a complete newbie and also still working on my general athleticism after getting into a deep slump during the school year. I’m working on my book while subletting here and would love to learn more about and experience surfing!
I’m having a destination wedding in Santa Cruz summer 2025 and not familiar with the vendors in the area, would love to know any recommendations.
(Note: venue does not have a sound system, so we would need the DJ to be able to set one up and provide mics for the ceremony).
I'm fairly new to the city (and state overall) and my boyfriend & I will typically opt for using our laptops at the library, which all are closed for Juneteenth today.. are there any other places where it's lax to just work / play on one's laptop for a while without threat of being kicked out / getting weird looks? Thanks!
Hi all! I am looking to get my massage therapy license next year and am curious if theres any MT's on here that can tell me how competitive the job market is in SC? I want to know if I'm going into an over saturated market😵💫
The numbers come as the state is looking at a reduction in funding for housing and homeless programs in next year’s budget that could impact future progress.
I know there are way more options for elementary and high school here but can folks talk about their experience with different middle schools in Santa Cruz? Looking at Branciforte right now but would be willing to think about a charter or private school if it was the right fit. Especially interested in any schools with good tech classes/focus because that’s what my kid is into.
Anyone use class pass? What do you think about it? I hate exercising, but I need to get stronger. I figured it could be fun to try a bunch of different stuff out. I'm a bit frustrated that you can't see how many credits each class costs, prior to giving them your credit card info.
Anyone who uses it, do you like it?
How many credits do you buy per month and how many classes do you take?
3 sharks close to shore yesterday at Seacliff State Beach, near the entrance of the park. Uncertain which type of sharks. 6/17/2024 around 1:30pm
Got a daughter picking it up and want to get a cheap one. Been looking on Craigslist but do any local shops sell used boards?
Earlier today I lost a tan, digi-camo boonie hat in seabright.
I lost the it in the water.
I know it's a longshot, the hat is probably long gone, but this hat was meaningful to me.
If anyone finds it, or if theres a lost and found, I'd really appreciated it if you let me know.
Been missing the Dolphin Cafe’s chowder bread bowls. Where else can I get one like this?
Was nice just grabbing a bowl and fries to dip while tailgating.
I am hoping to find a location to take some photos in or near Santa Cruz.
Looking for a colorful flower field, although this time of year is probably no ideal for this.
Here is a few image references for an idea of what I'm seeking: https://imgur.com/a/1vMCZ8j
