Corralitos

Location and Flavor

Corralitos is a small, agricultural community (population ~ 2,400) located in the inland Aptos hills of Santa Cruz County on the Central Coast of California. As with its northern neighbor, the historic and upscale Aptos Village, horse and country properties punctuate the landscape. 

Beautiful, secluded, inviting, Corralitos sits at elevation of 270 feet and is surrounded by apple orchards, vineyards and redwoods. Yet, it is only a few minutes drive to Pacific Coast beaches.

The small town of Corralitos is famous for its fine apple orchards and its town market, which smokes its own meat and sausage.

Just a few miles south of the town of Corralitos lies one of the richest agricultural valleys in the United States and the "Strawberry Capital of the World," the Pajaro Valley. The famous beach and surf town of Santa Cruz on the beautiful Monterey Bay is only a 15-mile drive from Corralitos. The town of Watsonville is only 4 miles away. The agricultural community of Corralitos with its close proximity to San Jose, and other Silicon Valley cities, includes computer and other high tech professionals.
