Aptos is a unique location where the redwoods meet the sea. Enjoy a peaceful walk or jog through the forest in Nisene Marks State Park or join the rich community of mountain bikers who explore the trails daily. Fitness enthusiasts will love Hotsource Yoga for heated yoga and pilates classes (with free childcare!)
Though Aptos is quieter than Capitola or Santa Cruz, the area still hosts a variety of great restaurants. Cafe Sparrow is a local favorite— don’t miss their Sunday brunch, with bottomless mimosas and an elevated version of all the breakfast classics. For the best Mediterranean food and a more casual atmosphere, head down the road to Zameen. And make sure to stop for coffee at Cat & Cloud, in the newly-renovated Aptos Village.
The Village is bringing many wonderful local businesses to Aptos, such as New Leaf Market, Mentone & Sockshop Santa Cruz. Stop in and discover for yourself all of the wonderful amenities this community has to offer.
