CAPITOLA
Founded in 1869, Capitola is California's oldest seaside resort town and is host every year for the Capitola Begonia Festival, the Capitola Art & Wine Festival. Shopping in Capitola Village is a unique pleasure and the Capitola Mall beyond offers all the amenities of the big city without the crowds.
The Capitola community draws many visitors causing a swell of humanity to three times its normal size in the summer. The rest of the year Capitola is a sleepy little beachside town with great schools and strong community atmosphere.
Capitola offers colorful seaside vistas with proximity to the small-town appeal of nearby Soquel, this cozy region south of Santa Cruz could remind one of another time in history.
