Great beach to enjoy the day. Sits in the heart of Montecito. A few minutes south on the freeway. More of a locals beach, not as many tourist. Great way to spend an afternoon.

‘Our beach’ is a local favorite just 5 minutes down Olive Mill Road. If tide is down you can walk to Santa Barbara or, in the opposite direction, to Summerland. (Warning: no bathrooms available) Nice to take evening stroll on the sidewalk above the beach.

A great place for couples, it's one of our few west facing beaches so a good place to see the sunset.

The only place downtown to see the sun set into the ocean. Quiet and lovely. Have a drink on the seaside patio of the Biltmore across the street. Dog friendly, unofficially
