Capitola Beach on the shores of the Californian town of the same name is a popular place for relaxation and walking. The coastline bends around Soquel Creek, where tourists ride canoes and stand up paddle boards. Boat rentals and fast-food cafes are available at Ward Road breakwater. A miniature promenade with restaurants, coffee shops, souvenir shops and benches add to the charm. Capitola Beach is suitable for surfing, and the safety of athletes and bathers is constantly monitored by lifeguards.
