Our Location

Larkin Valley is a picturesque rural community nestled in the Aptos Hills area of unincorporated Santa Cruz County, California. Its elevated location offers residents breathtaking views of the rolling hillside and Monterey Bay.
Our unique position allows us to enjoy a warm, temperate climate moderated by the refreshing "marine layer" that typically dissipates by mid-morning. Additionally, Larkin Valley is conveniently located just four miles east of Manresa Beach, a beloved Santa Cruz destination.
"Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own." ~ Charles Dickens
