This place is great but small. Make sure to bring sunscreen and get there early. Be ready to walk from your parking spot to the beach . Don’t take too much stuff.

Go there in the morning. Gets really crowded during the day. Bars , pizza , ice cream and surf / SUP rental close to the beach .

One of the best beaches to go to in California so much fun activities for everyone of all ages! The water is pristine and warm on a hot day!

Beautiful beach and town . Great place for kids to learn to surf . Lesson, boards, and wet suits all rentable right from the beach .

lots of people the day I went as there was a race at the same time! Downtown shops looked amazing although didn't have time to explore! Warm water to dip your toes...

It’s a little crowded , but the walk along the Soquel River is lovely.

Get here early to get a spot. It gets really crowded in the afternoon. We parked in a lot.

Beautiful beach town worth visiting!

Best kept secret on the Central coast.

The downtown and beach front have a cute Venetian look to it.

Easy access or food and drinks

Go early in the morning because it fills up fast

If you're nice the police may give permission to bring your dog on the beach around the bulkhead

Great spot to spend an evening on a weekend.

Not too crowded . Watch out at the volleyball fields . It can get quite competitive there.

One of the jewels of the california coast.

Grab some lunch from the village and enjoy it by the beach .

Capitola is awesome for everyone. Fun surf and a cute little town .

Walk to end of the wharf.

Really crowded . Hard to find parking .

The downtown has a cute Venetian look .

There's no place like home! ❤

Nice to go to after a busy day and get relaxed by the sound of the pacific ...
