Why the Best Girls' Trips Always Include a Day in Capitola

Some trips are about checking destinations off a list.

Girls' trips are different.

They're about slowing down, laughing until your cheeks hurt, finding the perfect outfit, sharing a bottle of wine, and creating memories you'll still be talking about years later.

That's why we think every California girls' getaway deserves a stop in Capitola Village.

Whether you're celebrating a birthday, a reunion, a bachelorette weekend, or simply making time for your favorite people, Capitola has a way of bringing everyone together.

Start the Morning Like a Local

One of our favorite ways to begin the day is with coffee from La Marea or Mr. Toots.

Grab your drink, stroll through the village, and watch Capitola wake up.

You'll see surfers heading to the water, locals walking their dogs, friends catching up on benches overlooking the beach, and visitors discovering why this little town captures so many hearts.

The pace is slower.

The conversations last longer.

It's the perfect way to begin a girls' day.

Shop, Laugh, and Make Memories

No girls' trip is complete without shopping.

At Katalina's Boutique, we've been lucky enough to host birthday celebrations where friends spend the afternoon together with champagne, charcuterie, music, and plenty of laughter.

Trying on outfits.

Helping each other choose the perfect dress.

Finding the Hammitt bag you've been dreaming about.

It's not just shopping.

It's an experience.

Our boutique features:

• Made in Italy fashion by Milio Milano
• Vintage Havana
• Surf Gypsy
• Sunkissed Coconut
• Nikibiki essentials
• Hammitt luxury handbags
• Flying Lizard artisan jewelry
• Tanline Designs
• Exclusive Capitola Beach sweaters

Every collection is chosen with one goal in mind: helping you leave with something you'll love long after your trip is over.

End the Day by the Water

After shopping, grab a patio table overlooking the ocean.

Watch the beach.

Listen to live music if you're visiting during the Twilight Concert series.

Enjoy dinner together.

Sometimes the best memories are made simply by sitting outside, watching the waves, and talking with your favorite people.

Why Capitola Feels Different

Capitola isn't a place you rush through.

It's a place you linger.

You wander into one more shop.

Order one more coffee.

Stay for one more sunset walk.

That's the magic of this little coastal village.

And it's why so many visitors become lifelong fans.
