Details: Capitola Walk: Scenic Stroll from City Hall to the Wharf
Join us for a refreshing and picturesque walk through one of the most beautiful corners of the Monterey Bay coastline! We’ll begin at the Upper City Hall parking lot, then make our way up through the historic Depot Hill neighborhood, where quiet, tree-lined streets are framed by classic coastal cottages and lovingly restored Victorian homes. Along the way, there are sweeping views of Soquel Creek, Capitola Beach, and the open Pacific, making this section of the walk a true highlight.
From there, the route descends into Capitola Village, a lively seaside hub filled with colorful storefronts, inviting cafés, and beachside boutiques. The village’s vibrant charm and oceanfront setting capture the essence of a classic California beach town.
We’ll continue out onto the Capitola Wharf, where you can pause to take in the salty breeze and panoramic views of Monterey Bay. We will then walk along a portion of Soquel Creek before looping back through the village and returning to the Cityhall parking lot.
It’s a mostly easy, scenic walk that blends coastal history, charming architecture, and stunning ocean views, perfect for anyone looking to enjoy the beauty and spirit of Capitola.
This would be an excellent opportunity for anyone who uses A.I. glasses to bring them along.
