A must see for anyone coming to the area. Capitola has the oldest beach resort on the West Coast. So much good food in the area too. My favorite acai bowl place is in Santa Cruz.
Just added! Santa Barbara is our new home and known as the American Riviera. It has a lot of history with its Mexican-style architecture and many cute restaurants and wineries as well. If you feel the desire to venture south-bound for a 4 hour road trip, you can also taste the central coast wines that are out here and visit our new town where we will be living for the next few years :)
