Great to just stroll along the beachside path from the beach volleyball courts all the way to Stearns Wharf, past the harbour and beyond. Great views to take in. Its a great highly used local amenity, full of joggers, walkers, skateboarders, roller skaters, etc, also hang gliders landing on the beach!. One of our lasting images was one night walking... More

Go, walk, look! This is a great park with lots of places to sit and look at the ocean, sailboats, paddle boarders, kite boarders and nature. There are lots of picnic tables and walking paths.

I you are a tourist, make sure not to miss this attraction. If you are a local, it is a great place to walk and enjoy the ocean view.

Start your hike "up-top" on the bluffs above the ocean and follow the paved paths down to the beachfront, harbor, pier and shops. A wonderful stroll that presents the very best views that Santa Barbara affords. I took well over 100 photos on my two-mile walk. Just bear in mind: if you descend down to the beach, you must return... More

This is a nice area to take a walk, have a picnic, or stroll by the ocean. There are walking and biking paths, but it is also right by a busy road. The visitor's center (and parking) are close by, and the pier is right there as well.

Separate pedestrian and bike paths ... gorgeous beach ... picnic areas with grills. What's not to like?

Santa barbara has great shoreline near the pier. There is a nice non motorized path you can walk, jog, bike. There is nearby volleyball activity spot. You can drive on pier for a fee and enjoy restuarants, shopping and sightseeing. Across the street you will finds restuarants and hotels. Hotels are expensive for location.

One of the nicer beaches we visited while on the coast of CA. Wider and cleaner than most. Loved the walkways along the shore.

The view is really nice but apart from that, there isn't much to see here (or do for that matter). It's ok for a walk, that's it!

I take my dog down here every Saturday & Sunday for his walk. It's such a pleasant spot - peaceful and beautiful. Definitely a Santa Barbara star location.
