Photos from Crown Beach, Transbay Transit Center, and Salesforce Tower

The Salesforce Tower building in the background is easily the tallest building in San Francisco now:










Good to see the Transbay Transit Center almost done, no more restrictions on Fremont street going under it now (Salesforce Tower to the left):




Crown Beach...Water is warmer here...so lots of swimmers:










SF looks so far from here:

I want to spend a couple of hours at Santa Cruz. I know its quite busy, whats the best way around beating the crowd, traffic, and parking?

Generally speaking on a non-holiday weekday especially in the middle of the week (Tues, Wed, Thur)...Take some pictures to share if you can...

Try to avoid peak commute and lunch traffic...Not sure where you're coming from but mid-morning hours (9-11) are generally good to drive there. Then hangout and come back after 6pm..

Highway 17 to Santa Cruz can get pretty congested from 7-9am and 3-5pm due to working people's commute..throu gh Los Gatos, Scotts Valley, etc...

The more scenic Highway 1 is a bit out of the way with less traffic but it's a two lane highway most of the way from the north...so it can get congested too...
