Located just inland from the beach town of Capitola, Soquel is a small community through which the Soquel Creek gently flows before emptying into the sea. Though small, Soquel's downtown area charms visitors with its shops, restaurants, and hidden trove of antique stores lining Soquel Drive and Main Street. Locals and tourists alike enjoy meandering through the antique shops in search of treasures, taking respite at a cafe, and continuing their antiquing adventures.
