Capitola, California Travel Guide
Capitola beaches
Capitola is the great Santa Cruz County beach that's enjoyed by visitors and locals who appreciated scenic beauty west of big cities such as San Jose in Silicon Valley and San Francisco. Capitola offers charming hotels accommodations not far from the action at the Capitola Wharf where you can fish, at the beach where you can surf or sunbathe and downtown in the cute shops and popular restaurants.

Capitola isn't just known for its surfing (you can rent a board and wetsuit at a little beach shack rental.) Capitola is also known for its wharf with kayaks tethered and available for tent, its events such as the Begonia Festival and Aquatic Parade, for art galleries, boutiques, shops and dining, and for an experience that's simply charming. Capitola could be a European oceanside village if you didn't know better. It's colorful architecture and flower baskets are a few of the delicate touches that make you feel enchanted, like you've entered another world. Restaurants with colorful, striped shade umbrellas, protect diners who sit next to a mellow bay, protected by the nearby hills that cut the wind currents, allowing folks to dine outdoors without being blown, an experience you'll discover at west facing beaches.

We love Capitola so much, the folks took a week-long trip with relatives from "back east" and stayed in Capitola. It is so scenic, that within an hour's visit, enough photographic material was assembled to create an artists gallery in our California photo gallery.
