Capitola's New Brighton Beach State Park is celebrating it' 75th anniversary. This great beach south of Capitola is a great place to go. It has camping on the bluffs overlooking the beach and is a great place to go that feels far and away, but is close to town. It is a great day trip with the kids to the beach.

Read more about the celbration and find links to local places, beaches, and end the day with a bonfire on the beach. If you think a beach house is something you want, you can explore that at my Santa Cruz beach house page. Have a free day of fun with the family at the beach, leaning about the marine life at the bay. Capitola is a great place to live.
