SHOP A favorite is Art Inspired, a collective of 12 to 15 artists from the vicinity. You’ll find quality, handmade items from necklaces and earrings to chimes made of up-cycled auto parts. Then head to the art galleries and clothing boutiques in Capitola Village. The younger ones (teens, perhaps?) in your group can opt for Capitola Mall for chain stores and also the shopping streets of downtown Santa Cruz on Pacific Avenue. SPA Capitola is home to a variety of boutique spas that beckon road-weary travelers to indulge in a taste of tranquility. Local favorites include Caress Day Spa and Opal Day Spa, both nestled in the heart of the village. Tea House Spa, a Japanese bamboo garden spa, is worth a short jaunt to downtown Santa Cruz. Imagine going into a dreamy oasis where your kind attendant first brews you a fresh pot of tea with leaves of your choice before you are escorted to a private room with a view to a bamboo garden. A warm tub of water, a shower and a sauna await. Reserve a massage or a deep soaking tub (or both) for a day of zoning out and relaxation, all in keeping with the goal of this Asian escape: to enable visitors to experience serenity, calm and peace. So ends our three-day weekend, filled with the scents and sounds of the ocean, the luxurious relaxation of mind and body when properly pampered, and the pure fun gorging on fullflavored food and drink and night prowling. You’re back, you’re re-energized, and hey, nice work, you did all on one tank of gas. n PACIFICA STAY Best Western Plus Lighthouse Hotel, 650/355.6300, bestwest ern.com.
