Day trip in Capitola, California

August 11, 2009 :: Posted by - TravelPro :: Category - City

Capitola is a small beach-front city located at the base of the Santa Cruz mountains. Capitola is a charming place for a relaxing day trip, to stop at on a road trip down the California coast, or to spend more time on a vacation. This charming city features the Capitola Mercantile located right on the beach front. You will have a wonderful day while visiting shops and boutiques, getting some taffy from Carousel Taffy, looking at some paintings at the Thomas Kinkade Gallery, and grabbing a bite to eat from Pizza My Heart- all located right on the beach. Don’t forget to end the day with a walk up along the cliffs as you watch the sun set over the ocean, but be careful- because it will take your breath away! I have been to Capitola more times than I can count but every time is better than the last- it definitely keeps me coming back for more.
