Visiting capitola for a 6-year anniversary couldn't it be better on a perfect day. Went to shadowbrook restaurant for lunch and sat around more on lake and watch the sunset.

04/22/2022 Decent size free day use parking lot. No parking 10pm to 6am. Two all gender single restrooms available (flushable toilets) though they aren't very clean. One very cold public shower and there is a spigot next to shower with excellent water pressure if you need to fill gallon water jugs or for pet. Van, pickup truck or car only. Not enough room for large RV's. Beach is across street. There are paths throughout park to exercise or walk your dog.

One of our go to walking trails in Santa Cruz. This is a great place to park and have about a 2 mile walk along East Cliff to see the ocean and all the surfers along Pleasure Point. There are public restrooms at this park and picnic tables. The reason I give this park only 3 stars is that there is also a lot of homeless people that spend their days here using the showers and hanging out in the parking lot. It makes it less comfortable sometimes and I wonder if my car is safe here. That said, in over 20 years of coming here I have never had a problem to report, so as long as you lock your car and are here during the day, it seems completely safe.

The pacific ocean is across the street! Great picnic spot! Wonderful walking path also! Nature at the finest! @renee4901.
