Aptos Village

Highlight • Settlement

A nice, small place, unfortunately a bit off the hiking trails, so that you have to walk a long time on the road to get in or out of the place. But the town center is worth it.

Just another amazing beach along the 60+ miles long sandy crescent formed by the Monterey Bay coastline. Cars have to pay $10 to park here, but hiking / biking in is free, and there are many more parking opportunities nearby.
