Capitola is a peaceful beachside village encompassing just two square miles. The town is perfectly positioned within the Soquel Creek valley in western Santa Cruz County on the majestic Monterey Bay. Conveniently located approximately an hour away from San Jose and an hour and a half from San Francisco, Capitola is home to a lively population of approximately 14,000 residents. Real estate options in Capitola consist of condominiums, townhouses, single-family homes, in addition to some land and lots available for custom building. Basking in the sunshine in the city’s spectacular wharf and riverside areas, one is reminded of the Mediterranean coasts of France and Italy. The Capitola Village area, located between two bluffs, is home to numerous museums, galleries, specialty shops, boutiques and excellent restaurants. During Labor Day weekend, the city hosts the annual Begonia Festival featuring flower-draped floats and an amazing sand sculpture contest that can’t be missed. Come fall, the village hosts the Annual Capitola Art and Wine Festival. This event showcases more than 170 artists, 10 wineries and numerous respected food vendors. Other visitor attractions include the Capitola Wharf, Historical Museum, and the Capitola Mall. Voted one of the best beach locations on the coast by Sunset Magazine, this beautiful town offers something for everyone!
