My favorite Sunset spots :)
Aptos / Rio Del Mar: The beach at Rio Del Mar is a GREAT sunset spot any day of the week!
If you are a walker, you can walk for miles along the water’s edge, taking in the beautiful Monterey Bay.
Seacliff/Seacliff State Beach: Home of the iconic Cement Boat Wharf. From the top of the hill, the sunsets are always a phenomenal!!
Capitola Village is also a great place to catch a sunset, stroll on the Esplanade, dine, and shop!
La Selva Beach also a local favorite. Go to the end of Playa Blvd. at the cliff and prepare to be wowed!!
