Seascape Beach Resort sits on a bluff above the Pacific in Aptos, just south of Santa Cruz, overlooking the entire sweep of Monterey Bay from the Santa Cruz Mountains to the Monterey Peninsula. The resort's private beach, reached by a path down the cliff, is one of the few genuinely private stretches of sand on this stretch of coast; with no public access road, the beach sees only resort guests, and the ocean view is uninterrupted in both directions. For couples who want the drama of a clifftop ocean setting combined with the comfort and privacy of a resort, Seascape offers both in the same place.
Why Propose Here
- The combination of a private clifftop terrace and private beach access means you can choose your setting: an elaborate terrace setup looking out over the full arc of Monterey Bay, or a petal-covered path on the sand below the cliff with no one else in sight.
- The resort's event team is experienced with private proposals and can coordinate room access, beach timing, and a post-proposal dinner or champagne service alongside your Yes Moment setup.
- The views from the resort terrace span the entire Monterey Bay; on clear days the Santa Cruz Mountains, the bay, and the Monterey Peninsula are all simultaneously visible, creating a panorama that no single beach spot can match.
