The Sea Breeze tavern is a nice local bar. It has a great location across from Rio Del Mar beach and is within easy walking distance if you are vacationing. No need to drink and drive.
It is one of those local hole in a wall places where people are
friendly. The place has it's locals who enjoy being able to leave the
car at home,walk down and have a beer or mixed drink. During holidays
or during the summer tourist rush for the beach, this is a welcome
place particularly.
The place has the feel of an old place, but this local Aptos bar is
new, and old. Originally part of the Rio Del Mar Development in the
mid-late 20's as the sales office, is has seem many deals. It has the
old Spanish style architecture as that was the norm for Rio Del Mar. As
it sits now, many deals are probably discussed in it's friendly
confines. The storied history of Aptos can probably be heard in it's
walls with the wind whistling outside.
It is one of those places that would be fun to hunker down with a
storm out side and it's friendly confines inside. Walk out check out
waves crashing on the beach across the street, see how the waves are
raging on the beach from the Seacliff Beach bridge as they crash into the Palo Alto cement ship.
As a summer spot it is nice to pop in for a beer and head out to the
sand for some rays. They have a mild bar menu for the casual diner who
does not want one of the other lunch choices. Stop in for the holidays
and have a good time. Be responsible and have fun. The Seabreeze Tavern
is nice local watering hole to enjoy during the holidays and year round.
