Seacliff State Beach Parking — Hotel in Capitola

I visited Seacliff State Beach in the afternoon to catch the sunset. The area itself is quite scenic, with a long stretch of beach and parking to accommodate visitors. One notable aspect is the sunken ship just off the shore, which adds a unique charm and made for some great sunset photos.

However, I was disappointed to learn find the pier is no longer there—it was apparently damaged by a storm about a year ago. While the beach's natural beauty makes up for it, I had been hoping for a walk along the pier and to get some pics with the sun setting behind it, and be able to get closer to the sunken ship

The facilities left something to be desired. The restroom I used was out of toilet paper, though fortunately, I didn’t need it. It wasn’t dirty per se, but I wouldn’t call it clean either. No soap was provided, which was a bit of a letdown if you want to clean your hands - luckily i had some hand wipes with me.

On the positive side, the beach has plenty of picnic areas with pavilions and BBQ spots, making it a great place for a family outing or gathering. Despite the small inconveniences, the sunset views made the...

Only stay here if you're rich, white, and entitled. They should rename this park Rich White Sardines. It's a glorified parking lot on the ocean full of insanely expensive motorhome, full of really grumpy people. The park rangers here definitely know where their money is coming from and had no hesitancy to wake my family up at 8 am to tell us to leave because our camper van "must have its own washroom facilities." I think because we have a fairly old model camper van that looks a bit silly next to the million dollar RV next to us... We simply weren't welcome here. I have searched the website and haven't seen any mention of a regulation like this. Not sure why these people would spend so much on their RVs to just end up in a parking lot ten feet from each other, and with some of the worst kept bathrooms and showers I've seen. ...

Diane and Maurice at the front desk are rude and they blatantly lied about their conversation with me. My van has a cassette toilet and that is not allowed in this park. After allowing me in and after I completely set up I was told I had to leave. They were rude. I am disabled and things are not easy for me. Now I get to sleep on the street? I am writing a letter to their superiors. Also Craig came and talk to me at my van and he was more than rude he was antagonistic. I asked him for the names of the two people at the front desk and he politely refused to give it to me. Isn’t this a state park? These people are acting as if it’s their personal business. I would like someone to contact me...
