The Santa Cruz Hostel welcomes over 10,000 guests annually to the historic 1870s Carmelita Cottages on Beach Hill in Santa Cruz, California. Operated by the nonprofit Santa Cruz Hostel Society, we provide safe, beautiful accommodations while fostering community and cultural exchange. Nestled in a vibrant oceanside community between San Francisco and Los Angeles, our hostel is more than a stop along the Pacific Coast—it’s a gateway to adventure, learning, and connection. Proceeds from your stay support our mission to make travel accessible and meaningful through programming, events, and partnerships with local organizations
