New Brighton State Beach

New Brighton State Beach just outside the quaint seaside town of Capitola offers beautiful views of the Monterey Bay from the forested bluffs and miles of sandy beaches just steps away. The park also features picnic areas, swimming, fishing, surfing, hiking, and more. For those looking to stay longer than a day, check out New Brighton State Beach Campground up on the bluff where you can wake up to ocean views each morning.
