Capitola by the Sea

The surf, the sand, and the quaint cottages snuggled on the hillside add up to another perfect California day at the beach in Capitola. The town has a long history of luring tourists with its Mediterranean charm and awesome waves. Walk along the Esplanade or explore the idyllic beach houses on the back streets. Paradise Beach Grille, Gayle's Bakery and Roticceria, Cava Wine Bar, and the Shadowbrook Restaurant are eateries to try.
