Nice campground with decent sized campsites. On the bluff overlooking the bay. Good views. Easy downhill access to beach or you can drive to a closer lot. Fairly small beach between the cliff face to the west and development to the east. Had nice sunsets.

this is a beautiful Beach located in mid county. it is a state park and requires an entrance fee. however, there are trails leading to the beach. it's a nice walk at low tide to capitola village and you can also walk south to Rio del Mar

Beautiful beach for spending one of the summer days. The beach is clean. Be aware of the water level at high tide when setting up the mat or beach tent. The beach offers a long walk and at least one hike nearby. The public toilets were well maintained. There is an entry and parking fee of $10. It has parking space for about 40 cars. In case, the parking is full, you may try the adjacent beaches.

Nice beach. Saw whales, seals, pelicans, sea gulls, and crabs. Nice sand and dogs allowed on leash. If you bring a cooler with wheels or a wagon, a ramp to the beach is at the far end of the beach by the bathrooms. Nice family friendly spot.

It was a great experience camping at New Brighton State Beach. The campsite was quiet, clean, and well-maintained. The beach was just a short walk away, and the faucet even had hot water, which was a nice surprise. Both my baby and my dog had a wonderful time. A perfect spot for a relaxing family getaway!
