New Brighton State Beach is one of the most popular and most-visited state beaches in California. This 93-acre park along the beautiful coast of Santa Cruz offers spectacular views of Monterey Bay. It is known for its family-oriented campground, which sits on the towering bluffs high above the Pacific Ocean. The beautiful, lush vegetation of towering pine trees, Monterey cypress, oak, eucalyptus trees and wild berry vines surround campers with peaceful tranquility. Once the site of a Chinese fishing village, it now offers locals and visitors a haven from the hectic pace of city life.
