Activities in and around Seacliff
The Seacliff Improvement Association is active in and around our community. From zoning issues to land use, neighborhood safety to beautification, and transportation to promoting active involvement in community affairs, we work to make Seacliff a wonderful place to visit and live.
Membership Meetings and Events
We host informative quarterly association membership meetings and events including our Ice Cream Social, marching in the Aptos 4th of July parade and our annual dinner.
Seacliff Mini Park
Located along Seacliff Drive on a wedge of land overlooking the ocean, the association created this favorite vista point along the cliff above Seacliff State Beach. Many locals and visitors frequent this little slice of paradise to enjoy the sunrise, sunset and beautiful view of Monterey Bay. Membership funds are used to maintain this native and drought-tolerant garden.
Beachgate Trail
Crafted with love, the trail features prolific blackberry bushes, a log hand-carved in the shape of a boat and decorated with flowering plants, and stunning views of spouting whales and the SS Palo Alto our “Cement Ship” made of concrete. Volunteers from our association have maintained and, in 2020, replaced the safety railing and rebuilt some of the retaining boards that were lost in the storms of 2016-2017 when the drainage pipe, installed in 1925, finally failed. State Parks replaced the drainage culvert and our volunteers places straw wattles and hillside netting to help prevent erosion along the trail. Work is ongoing and donations to the Seacliff Trails Maintenance Fund have made the repairs possible and are greatly appreciated.
Moosehead Trail
Located on State Park land, this trail has recently been washed away in winter storms after years of tending by association’s volunteer trail maintenance team. The Moosehead Trail leads to the Aptos Creek Bridge, from Seacliff Drive near the Seacliff Mini Park. This important coastal and neighborhood access trail was completely rebuilt thanks to a generous donation to the Seacliff State Beach Recovery Fund.
