Review:
New Brighton State Beach is named for the coastal resort of Brighton in England, and can be found just south of Santa Cruz in the town of Capitola. New Brighton is a very scenic strip of beach backed by crumbing sandstone cliffs and forested bluffs. Visitors come to this beach to enjoy swimming, wading, boogie-boarding, SUP and surfing.
There is an on-site provision store and restrooms and showers are available on the beach. If you would like to linger a bit longer you can bring your RV or tent to the large camp ground which can accommodate up to 97 RVs and several tent campers.
