Just south of Santa Cruz. Take New Brighton/Park Ave. exit off of Highway 1. Day use fee required.

Not the biggest flying area depending on the tide line and winds can be erratic or non-existent. But when the wind is there, it is a georgeous location. There is a campground on top of a sheer 100+ foot bluff that overlooks the beach and its great to fly a kite up high enough where it's at eye level with the campers. Sport kiting is OK when not too crowded.
