New Brighton State Beach is named after England’s famous coastal resort, a beautiful beach, as well as bluffs, that have drawn countless visitors for centuries. These forested bluffs provide sweeping vistas of the Monterey Bay, trails for hiking, and a campground only steps away from the sandy beach, which offers opportunities for swimming, beach combing, and fishing. The campground consists of 114 sites for both RVs and tens, and all campsites at the New Brighton State Beach include storage, fire grills, food lockers, and picnic tables. The beach is also home to the Pacific Migrations Visitor Center.
