The Venetian Court, Capitola
Capitola · Mixed / Open · Evening
Waterfront canal; mixed orientation, with buildings giving afternoon shade in spots.
Private residential property, not a bookable location. The complex sits on Capitola Beach between the Stockton Avenue bridge and the wharf, so the painted exteriors are visible and can be photographed from the public beach and the Esplanade. Walkways, courtyards, balconies and interiors are private.
