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.

Hyatt Place Santa Cruz
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great Labor Day Weekend staying at Hyatt Place, Santa Cruz! Staff was great. Helped us stash bags before check-in was available. The guys valet my car early as well, so we could take off for fun stuff. Room was flip'n Great too. Nice view, including Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk and Hotel's pool and hot tub as well. Perfect bed and living room sofa was really nice. We had a great full breakfast with lots of choices. Totally stuffed our faces, haaaa. We wanted just one more swim & tub, so asked for a later check out time. Desk said no problem. Hotels.com got us there and Hyatt Place has locked us in for next Santa Cruz or Capitola stay. We love the beach and Hyatt Place ! Thank You Sniders"
