Learn more about Capitola

Colorful Mediterranean-style buildings hug the shoreline in this pocket-sized beach town where surfers and families share the golden sands of Capitola Beach. The vibrant Village buzzes with seafood restaurants where locals debate which spot serves the freshest catch while gazing at Monterey Bay. Duck into quirky boutiques selling everything from handmade jewelry to vintage surfboards. New Brighton State Beach offers a quieter alternative when the main beach fills with sunbathers. The historic Capitola Wharf extends into the bay, providing perfect fishing spots and sunset views that explain why residents never seem in a hurry to be anywhere else. For more excitement, the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk awaits just up the coast with its vintage roller coaster and carnival games.

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Seacliff Inn Aptos, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"We really enjoyed our stay at Seacliff Inn Aptos. It’s right off the highway and the location was great as we were there to visit friends and go to Seascape Beach and New Brighton Beach. You do have to pay a $15 per day parking fee but we already knew about that fee. The employee at the front desk was very nice, We had lunch at the on site restaurant the day we checked out and the waiter was nice as well. Before we left we checked out the koi fish pond and bridge. I would definitely stay here again,"
