About Aptos

Aptos is an unincorporated Santa Cruz County community and census-designated place on Monterey Bay. Local usage is broader than the census boundary, often including Aptos Village, Cabrillo, Seacliff, Rio del Mar, Seascape, and nearby hill areas. The town's history runs through Rancho Aptos, redwood logging, beach resort development, and the old Bayview Hotel. Today Aptos is strongly tied to Seacliff State Beach, the Forest of Nisene Marks, Highway 1, and a coastal Santa Cruz County lifestyle that is quieter than Santa Cruz itself.
