Capitola is bestowed with
a craggy coastline that breaks into a wide beach with a sumptuous
view of the Monterey Bay. Indeed, the site was so popular that a
massive hotel once stood sentinel on the bluffs. Today, visitors
are drawn instead to smaller inns, private beach homes leased out
for the summer season, or to the famed Capitola Venetian, a
pastel-hued landmark that reportedly was the first condominium in
California.
The town naturally
resembles an amphitheater with dramatic cliffs dotted with
Victorian-style beach homes, a center village valley bordered by
the ocean, decorated with the Soquel river and accented with a
tall train trestle as artistic as a Vermont covered bridge. |
Capitola Village offers
numerous craft galleries, boutiques, and casual little restaurants
ideal for family dining. For this small village, dining choices
are pretty varied from great hamburgers, to Mexican food, Indian
cuisine, and seafood. There is night time entertainment at some of
the establishments in the village. Just up the river, the
Shadowbrook restaurant has a tram you can take down the hillside
to their front door.
The annual Begonia
Festival takes place in Capitola, filling Soquel Creek with
flower-draped floats created by local competitors. The sand castle
contest is a must-see. And the annual Dog Costume Parade is fun
for the whole family. In fact if you want to be a part of these
town festivities, book your accommodations early, because the town
is packed with merry witnesses to natures blooms. |
