Capitola Wharf

Perched above the Pacific Ocean in Santa Cruz County, the Capitola Wharf is nestled at the base of hill that contains some of the county’s oldest condominiums and vacation homes. Picturesque Capitola Beach is below the wharf.

As diners gaze toward the ocean for an occasional view of migrating whales and dolphins passing through the Monterey Bay (a national marine sanctuary), surfers ply the waves that come ashore in Capitola, one of the region’s favorite surfing destinations. Brightly colored Venetian Village cottages (rented as vacation units), are a landmark on the sand next to the wharf. And down below the wharf are kayaks for rent. Kayakers can launch the vessels from the wharf via a set of attached steps to a connected small platform where they are launched.
