1. (geology) An erosional landform, produced by wave action, which is either at the seaward edge of the coast or at the landward side of a wave-cut platform and which denotes the inner limit of the beach erosion.

2. (geography) A small neighborhood community located in the Aptos area of Santa Cruz County, California.

The Seacliff Improvement Association (SIA) was formed to help beautify and improve our Seacliff neighborhood. To inspire and acknowledge neighbors to beautify their yards we give out beautification awards. To stay informed of local government developments we take part in several organizations like the Aptos Chamber of Commerce, the Aptos Enhancement Committee, and the Santa Cruz County Transportation Task Force; and we keep members informed of these developments through our quarterly newsletter and general meetings. Our annual Flea Market in June allows everyone to clean out their garage and raise money to fund our organization. We also participate in local area events such as the Festival of the Cement Ship at Seacliff State Beach, and the 4th of July World’s Shortest Parade in Aptos.
