This beautiful coastal state beach, spanning nearly 5,000 miles (8,046.72 km), located just 12 miles (19.31 km) south of Santa Barbara, is nestled beneath the Santa Ynez Mountains and surrounded by the Channel Islands. It's an ideal place to stop for a break, where you can cool off with a dip in the water on a hot day or enjoy a short stroll along the boardwalk to stretch your legs. There is also a fantastic campground here for a scenic overnight stay. You'll likely see plenty of sea life, including dolphins, gray whales, and harbor seals, who call this area home.
