Jewel Box: Colorful Coastal Living in Capitola

Tucked between New Brighton State Beach and Capitola Village, the Jewel Box is one of the most sought-after neighborhoods on the Central Coast. Known for its vibrant homes and spectacular ocean views, this community offers a rare combination of laid-back beach-town energy and convenient access to local amenities.

Lifestyle & Amenities

Life in the Jewel Box revolves around the coast. Residents enjoy morning surf sessions at nearby breaks, sunset walks along the bluff, and easy access to Capitola Village’s boutique shops, wine bars, and waterfront restaurants. New Brighton State Beach is just steps away, providing a wide stretch of sand for picnics, bonfires, and family outings.

Real Estate & Architecture

The neighborhood features a diverse mix of homes, from charming mid-century cottages to contemporary ocean-view residences. Many properties are perched on the bluff, offering panoramic views of Monterey Bay, while others enjoy cozy tree-lined streets just blocks from the sand. Limited inventory and high demand keep Jewel Box properties among Capitola’s most desirable.

Community & Character

True to its name, the Jewel Box shines with personality.
