Ocean Street is a major road in Santa Cruz, complete with its own Highway 17 exit. Most tourists use this junction to get to the beach from the highway. This street runs South to North from San Lorenzo Boulevard, for about 1½ miles to meet Graham Hill Road. Even some locals miss the fact that Ocean Street turns WEST at the start of Highway 17 and continues under the freeway, past the Santa Cruz Memorial Cemetery to join Graham Hill Road and Ocean Street Extension. While Ocean Street is a major street to get to the Pacific Ocean, the Pacific Ocean cannot be seen from any point on Ocean Street.
OCEAN STREET Extension
As Ocean Street meets Graham Hill Road, it becomes Ocean Street Extension. This runs from Ocean Street for almost two miles to meet John Street.
OCEAN STREET, Davenport
