Aptos Information

About Aptos

A small beach town on the coast of California, Aptos is located on along the Route 1 freeway, under an hour’s drive from San Jose. The town was colonized by Europeans during the Spanish Portola expedition in 1769, and is known for its serene setting on the coast of the Pacific Ocean, making it an ideal vacation spot. From the forest retreat of Nisene Marks to the seaside charm at Seacliff State Beach, all vacationers will find something to love in Aptos. Aptos is a popular skateboarding and surfing town. It’s also home to the world’s shortest-ever 4th of July parade, which runs a mere 0.6 miles!

Things To Do in Aptos

Visit the Rancho Del Mar shopping center in Aptos for groceries, apparel, jewelry or dining, as well as a spa, nail salon and massage parlor. Stop by Café Sparrow for American cuisine, or visit other popular eateries Marianne’s Ice Cream and Manuel’s Mexican Restaurant. For an outdoor adventure, many Aptos visitors enjoy visiting the Forest of Nisene Marks State Park, where those looking to get away from the city can relax among the redwoods. Elevation ranges from sea level to mountains, and picnics are popular in the park. Known for its fishing pier, which is currently closed for repair, Seacliff State Park offers different scenery from Nisene Marks on the coast of the ocean. The long stretch of beach is a popular spot for surfing and fishing. Picnic tables, fire pits and RV facilities make Seacliff a popular spot for campers, as well. Out-of-state visitors may be inclined to go wine-tasting during an Aptos vacation. Nicholson Vineyards, located along the Corralitos Wine Trail in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains, offers several varieties of red and white wines as well as olive oil. For a taste of the lively coastal community’s entertainment, visit the Santa Cruz American Music Festival (which, contrary to its name, takes place in Aptos Village Park). Past performers include Buddy Guy, Josh Turner, Bonnie Raitt and other big blues names.

Day Trips From Aptos

Visit the campus of Stanford University in Palo Alto, an hour’s drive northwest from Aptos. The huge campus features sculptures, an art center, a shopping mall and dozens of dining options. California residents call it a “must-see.” One day might be a squeeze for a to visit San Francisco, but perhaps you’ll get enough of an idea of the city to come again for a longer visit. The epicenter of San Francisco’s shopping district, Union Square, offers enough boutiques and department stores for those looking for a shopping excursion. Take a cable car to the bay, or visit Alcatraz by ferry. Only a 15-minute drive away, you’ll find Santa Cruz, another quiet town with surfing opportunities and a gorgeous boardwalk. While the wharf on Aptos is closed, you can check out the wharf at Santa Cruz – which happens to be the west coast’s longest pier! Lots of dining options (including excellent seafood) is available for the long walk. If you’re up for a longer drive, trek a little over three hours to Yosemite National Park, filled with some of the most beautiful hiking trails in the country. If you’d like to see it all in a day (or you’re not game for a long hike), try taking a shuttle through the park.
