Local Travel Tip

For over 60 years, Shadowbrook Restaurant has been located in Capitola, California. The food is good, but the scenery is great. The area surrounding the restaurant will take your breath away and the actual restaurant has a lot of charm. You can take a cable car to get to the restaurant or walk to the restaurant in a nature path. Whether you want dinner, lunch, or Sunday brunch you can find get it at Shadowbrook. If you are going to Shadowbrook- go for the experience, not necessarily the food.

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.
