Review:
Capitola City Beach is a popular urban beach on Monterey Bay in Capitola.
Its fine white sand attracts people young and old, and on sunny days or holidays it can get a bit packed.
The beach is south facing and protected, making it warm and calm, perfect for the little ones, who enjoy running through the sand or splashing in the water.
The most popular part of the beach is Soquel Cove, which is protected from the west.
Just behind the beach is a small lagoon created by Soquel Creek, which is often full of all kinds of birds, while the creek is lined with colorful homes that look like cakes in a pastry shop.
Lifeguards are on duty during the season.
In the evenings, there are outdoor movies on the beach, live music concerts, and art shows.
