Capitola Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Aerial view of Capitola Beach in California, featuring pastel Venetian cottages, a wooden pier, a bridge over an inlet, and the Pacific Ocean.
You'll be hard pressed to find an uncrowded #beach in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area but New Brighton is a must visit anyway. Beautiful sandy beach, sail boats, parasailing, volleyball, camping and a #lighthouse ! You just can't beat it.
"There is only one mirror... the mirror inside. Everything you see on the outside is a reflection of what is going on in your mind. It's a powerful tool so use it wisely." {Victoria Grant}
The colorful Capitola Venetian Hotel sits alongside the Pacific Ocean at the end of Capitola Beach.
Nice to chill

This was such a cute property! The location was stellar, close to all the shops and the beach. Since it’s tucked away in a side street, it’s also super quiet. The only downside is parking in front of the location is a fight or a wait and watch for people to leave (but that is all of Capitola Village). ...
