Capitola

Capitola is best known in California for Venetian Court, a landmark row of brightly painted cottages beside Soquel Creek. This small coastal city sits on the north shore of Monterey Bay, close to Santa Cruz and the agricultural Pajaro Valley. Its compact center brings the beach, creek mouth and Capitola Wharf together, while Depot Hill rises directly above the waterfront. Established as a seaside resort in the 19th century, Capitola retains an informal shore-town identity shaped by surf culture, local dining and seasonal visitors. Winter storms can alter the creek and shoreline, underlining the active character of this stretch of coast.
