You'll be hard pressed to find an uncrowded #beach in the Santa Cruz/Capitola area but New Brighton is a must visit anyway. Beautiful sandy beach, sail boats, parasailing, volleyball, camping and a #lighthouse ! You just can't beat it.

"There is only one mirror... the mirror inside. Everything you see on the outside is a reflection of what is going on in your mind. It's a powerful tool so use it wisely." {Victoria Grant}
The colorful Capitola Venetian Hotel sits alongside the Pacific Ocean at the end of Capitola Beach.
