The Surf City Daily

Santa Cruz, Monterey Bay and the redwoods — every morning.

What we do

The Surf City Daily publishes daily local headlines and community press releases from across Santa Cruz County — from downtown to the Westside, Capitola to Aptos, Watsonville to Scotts Valley, plus the redwood villages of the San Lorenzo Valley. We are an independent, digital-only newsroom and press wire.

Where our headlines come from

Headlines on the home page are aggregated from publicly available news feeds via the MediaStack news API, keyword-filtered for Santa Cruz / Monterey Bay relevance. Each headline links to the original article. All content remains the property of its respective publisher.

The Press Wire

Local businesses, public agencies and community organizations can publish news through our shared press wire. Submissions are reviewed and, once approved, appear on every site in the State to State Content network. Send releases to press@santacruz.statetostatecontent.com.
