The iconic Cement Ship at Seacliff Beach is a must-see, and nearby forested parks like Nisene Marks offer hiking and biking trails. Aptos combines natural beauty, small-town charm, and easy access to the Santa Cruz Boardwalk, creating an ideal coastal escape for visitors.

Summary: Amazing house right on the beach - we loved the views (even saw whales!), and the layout was perfect for our family. Plus walking to the waves, or down to the market and restaurants, was a breeze.
