The Californian coast – a place larger than life with its bodacious babes, balmy beaches, and bohemian behaviors. A place fantasized for its spontaneous exhilaration and collective romanticism. A place that will forever be ingrained and memorialized in contemporary American culture – Yep, life is good on the California coast.

But as more and more people flock to the many riches that the coast offers, a resounding theme from those living there is “less is more” – after all, who wants to be jam-packed with the other followers who are diminishing the quality of the California coast experience with their sheer masses and associated expectations. Not you! If you’re looking for tranquility and a large piece of your own private paradise that has not been diluted with the rapid growth and expansion of major coastal urban centers, I’ll let you in on a secret – APTOS! (Shhh…keep it on the down-low)

Aptos is a coastal community of central California in beautiful Santa Cruz Country, known for its pristine beaches and wicked waves that has made it a surfer’s paradise of sorts. Aptos has a population of 10,000 people just like you – those wanting an escape and a piece of the California coast that is unique and is a sense, hidden, from the rest of the state.

Aptos is set along Monterey Bay, a geographical and ecological wonder known throughout the world for its diverse wildlife, spectacular forest, and having one of the largest underwater canyons known.
