West Jetty Walk

An accessible walkway project featuring panoramic views of Santa Cruz Harbor, Walton Lighthouse and Monterey Bay.

Site Plan of Project Area

Project Scope

An accessible walkway will be constructed starting at “A” dock on the west side of Santa Cruz Harbor, and continue past Aldo’s Restaurant, and along the west jetty out to Walton Lighthouse.

The project will feature donor-sponsored public amenities, including benches, overlooks, and murals. Bronze plaques, tiles and other artistic elements will be incorporated throughout the project to acknowledge each donor with a personal message or memorial statement.

Funding

This estimated $1.2 million project is funded in part by a $250,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy.

The remainder of the project will be funded through donor sponsorship of public amenities. Santa Cruz Port District is seeking sponsorship of these donor-funded elements, and is compiling a list of interested donors.

Major Donor "Naming" Opportunities

There are four, major sponsorship opportunities:

Other Donor Opportunities

There are numerous other donor opportunities such as benches, donor points along the west jetty pathway, plaques on the dock path wall, and marinethemed mural opportunities which include the ability to have your personal vessel depicted as part of the mural.
