Beaches with white sand and swaying palm trees, lots of sailboats to watch. Rent a bicycle and ride down the boardwalk or stay for the art exhibits. Lots of great food, plenty of public restrooms so bring the whole family! More

Close to both downtown and good seafood eateries, I highly recommend Shoreline Park as a after-meal strolling location. On street level, there are winding bike paths occupied by riders and dog walkers. Take a set of wooden stairs down and you find yourself immersed in scenic views. We strolled up and down the beach admiring the rocks and the ocean... More

Keep an eye out for dolphins and grey whales. There is often a bit of a breeze, so don't forget your sweater or jacket. A nice walk, it is approx 1 1/2 miles if you walk from one end to the other and back. Such fun. Bring your dog. The locals love to "talk dog." More

Located alongside the Pacific Ocean, it has wonderful views towards the Channel Islands - but where does not in Santa Barbara. It is one of the smaller beaches there. There is plenty of parking and both toilet and barbecue facilities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YBYFQgce__A&feature=plcp&context=C4fafd0dVDvjVQa1PpcFMVX_6EUjgOkgpuQcc_FmmhTFo-BszB-4k%3D More
