Why choose Capitola Beach?
Nestled within the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, Capitola has a variety of surf locations ideal for all skill levels. Due to the angle of the Monterey Bay, we are in one of the most consistent places on earth to catch waves year round. Capitola is often sheltered from the wind, and has one of the few remaining healthy kelp forests exploding with sea life along the West Coast. Backed by coastal cliffs and views of the Monterey Peninsula offshore, Capitola offers stunning views of the Bay both above and below the sea. Join us for a Stand Up Paddle excursion or a surf expedition, and sea for yourself the magic of Capitola.
