The Wharf to Wharf Race, held each July, is a six-mile run from the Santa Cruz Wharf to the Capitola Wharf. If vacation rentals are more your style, Capitola offers everything from beachfront condos to cozy cottages tucked into the surrounding neighborhoods. For those looking to explore beyond the village, Capitola serves as an excellent base for day trips. The wooden planks of Capitola Wharf lead visitors on a journey into the bay, where the horizon promises adventures and the shoreline beckons you home. Use this map to find your way around this charming coastal village and discover your own favorite spots.
