West Beach

Starting off a great day of fishing with a beautiful #sunrise over the Santa Barbara Harbor #adventure #ocean #California

Not a long drive from LA , good for a nice day getaway

Santa Barbara is very quaint! It is amazing to walk along the beach and the streets. This town is more than beautiful.

The West Beach area of the Santa Barbara waterfront has a lot of offer, but the beach itself is best for volleyball, kayaking, and boating. Because it’s so close to the harbor, swimming is not advised from the beach. Look for parking along Cabrillo Blvd, in the lot just east of the pier at Garden Street, or even on the pier. Laying in the sand, look back for a gorgeous view of the mountains over the red tile roof buildings.
