Davenport Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Our Take on Davenport, California

Davenport is a tiny costal community in the Santa Cruz County of Central California. Located nine miles south of the City of Santa Cruz, Davenport is a peaceful location for a romantic getaway.

Famous for the dramatic cliffs and bluffs jutting out of the Pacific, Davenport is a visual delight. Ansel Adams used several locations in Davenport as subjects for his photographs. Once you visit this dazzling town, you will understand for yourself why the famous photographer was so drawn to this place.

Its costal location makes seafood a favorite of Danville locals. You will find an enticing variety of restaurants to tempt your palate, with fresh daily seafood specials on offer at most eateries. Davenport is the home of American Abalone, which is a main producer of farm raised California Red Abalone. This fish has been selected by the Monterey Bay Aquarium’s Sea Watch program as a superior choice for environmentally conscious seafood consumers. This commitment to health and quality sets the stage for conscious dining for most Davenport restaurants.

Davenport accommodations are mainly intimate bed and breakfast inns, catering to couples and those seeking a peaceful, dreamy weekend away. There are several helpful travel guides and online resources. Go to a local guide to get an idea of all that Danville has to offer and to get started planning your holiday!
