Capitola Beach

There is one review of Capitola Beach.

Review by jeffb on 3/2/2005

This beach is unusual in that it is abutted by the city. This means that you can walk half a block to eat lunch and then go right back to the beach.

There are restrooms and outdoor showers.

In the summer there is a shuttle bus from a parking lot next to route one. Parking can be tough in the center of Capitola.

The biggest drawback is that the water quality is so-so.

Capitola Beach Vacation Rentals

We love Capitola and it's pink and blue colored villas on the rocks across from the beach. It's a nice slow life in this beach village. Check out the 20+ beach vacation rentals that Otalo found in Capitola.
