BeachExpert Tips & Helpful Hints
  • This is a great beach for those who want to get away from Santa Barbara's more crowded stretches of sand. Plus, it offers both beach and a shady wooded area.
  • The main activities here include swimming, surfing, and fishing. It is also a great spot for just enjoying a day at the beach. If you have bikes, take the 2.5-mile trail to Refugio State Beach for a change of scenery.
  • Facilites here include showers, restrooms, tables, grills, and there's a campground if you want to stay over.
