A must-see when you're in Aptos. The S.S. Palo Alto has been at the end of the pier at Seacliff State Beach since 1929! Although you can no longer board the old ship, it's worth the walk to the end if the pier to get as close as possible to the old gal.

SS Palo Alto was a concrete ship built as a tanker at the end of World War I. She was built by the San Francisco Shipbuilding Company at the U.S. Naval Shipyard in Oakland, California. She was launched on 29 May 1919. She was left in Oakland until 1929, when she was bought by the Seacliff Amusement Corporation and towed to Seacliff State Beach in Aptos, California. A pier was built leading to the ship, and she was sunk in a few feet in the water so that her keel rested on the bottom. There she was refitted as an amusement ship, with amenities including a dance floor, a swimming pool and a café. The company went bankrupt two years later, and later the ship cracked at the midsection. She was stripped of her fittings and left as a fishing pier. Eventually she deteriorated to the point where she was unsafe for this purpose and was closed to the public. Today she remains at Seacliff Beach and serves as an artificial reef for marine life. In February of 2016, the ship sustained severe damage and split in half during a series of winter storms.
