After Spreckels' death, Seacliff Park and Rio Del Mar Country Club were developed in the late 1920's. Rio Del Mar Country Club included a clubhouse, a grand hotel on the bluffs, a beach club, a polo field, and a golf course. But the Inn's greatest fame derived from the big name bands that broadcast dance music nationally from within its doors. The club has several incarnations, but never was much of a moneymaker. However, it’s original premise to draw people to the area, thoroughly succeeded. Many good times were had at the club, which tragically burned down in the early 60’s.
For more than three decades the Aptos Beach Inn had occupied its perch overlooking the Esplanade from the bluff above Beach Drive. It was the first major structure in Rio del Mar, built before the freeway isolated the area from Aptos and before Rio del Mar even existed as anything more than a name.
The hotel was originally to have been called the Hotel Don Rafael de Castro, after the area's largest land owner. Its whole purpose, when it was built in 1927, was to act as a nucleus to attract upscale residential development to the neighborhood. Its name was eventually changed to Aptos Beach Inn, as the developers considering the word "beach" to be a crucial catalyst. While the tactic worked, and the community of Rio del Mar slowly evolved around it, the Inn itself never really settled upon a name or an identity of its own.
Development along Beach Drive in Rio Del Mar -- where million-dollar houses are common today -- didn't begin until 1935. Plans to develop the area were impaired by the Depression, which also had a significant effect in Capitola on Frederick Hihn’s Capitola by the Sea. The golf course, however, was built in the late 1920's. Beach homes sprang up around 1937 when Rio Del Mar began to grow as a recreational center for out of area folks seeking to escape the heat in the summer. The largest stretch of Beach Front homes exists in Rio Del Mar than anywhere else in the county. All these homes are in the 3 million dollar and up range as of 2006. Some are in the section behind the gates. This is still an up and coming area despite those prices.
Aptos Seascape Golf Club is located off Clubhouse Drive in Rio Del Mar. It has many uses including weddings. The 18 hole course has been redesigned three times since it was originally built, the latest by Garrett Gill and George B. Williams in the early 1990's This course is nestled in the coastal highlands and is a shotmaker's delight. With only one par 5 measuring more than 500 yards, it would appear that birdies would come easily. But, accuracy and not distance is the key when playing this course This winding course is ringed with million dollar homes and gives a place for local wildlife to flourish.
