Learn more about Aptos

Between the redwoods and the Pacific, this laid-back beach town offers the perfect escape from California's more crowded coastal spots. At Seacliff State Beach, marvel at the concrete ship 'Palo Alto' – a peculiar breakwater that's become an accidental tourist attraction. The Forest of Nisene Marks State Park tempts with miles of shady trails where joggers and mountain bikers navigate through towering trees. Rio Del Mar Beach provides a quieter alternative for sunbathing, while New Brighton offers dramatic cliff views. Local restaurants serve fresh seafood caught that morning, best enjoyed with sunset views. For a perfect day, start with coffee in Aptos Village, then grab beach supplies before heading to whichever stretch of sand suits your mood.
