Seacliff State Beach in Aptos is a beautiful place to get married if your are looking for a simple beach elopement in California. The beach is lined by a row of houses, many of which are available to rent. My couple had a large house right cross the street so they could get ready and then have a catered dinner after the ceremony.
If you are planning a beach elopement in Santa Cruz County, you will need a permit to have your ceremony. Don’t be scared- it’s a easy process and you can breathe easy having reserved your space.
