Whether you're dipping a toe in the water or just chilling out on the shoreline, New Brighton State Beach is a lovely place to spend time with the kids. Why not bring a picnic and a rug and make a day out of it?

This stretch of coastline is in Aptos, a place that has so much going for it! Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk, Main Beach, and Santa Cruz Surfing Museum are other fine sightseeing choices close by when you've had your fill of New Brighton State Beach.
