This is a really nice beach to walk on, as well as sit and watch the waves (there are several park benches scattered around). There is plenty of parking, so if you work close by, you can zip over and catch an amazing sunset after work.

A small, beautiful park, great for watching and photographing various species of birds in their natural habitat, along with a very decent beach. On the horizon oil platforms, incidentally visible in the sand beach with some nodules of crude oil! With a good car park (free), greats sunsets and early mornings. It has a good bar / beach restaurant, but a little expensive.

On our drive back up the California Coast, we stopped at this park. It has a nice pier, nice area for walking with good views of the ocean, and nice area for picnics.

Beautiful and romantic. Great for walks along the beach. Wonderful in the morning and at sunset. Soothing of the mind comes naturally on this fabulous beach.

This is the best family beach I know of. The sand is backed by a deep lawn and there is a nice kids play area. Parking is usually plentiful. This is, however an exposed beach, not a bay, so the waves can be a bit real. Rarely are they dangerous. Bring what you need. There are no stores.

You have to look for this little spot beyond a twisting road behind the airport next to UCSB. There is a beachfront cafe and a sturdy pier great for strolling. Yeah, there's some tar. Get some Wesson Oil and get over it. Nice mountain view from the pier. Love it.

The beach was a bit rocky and crowded (at least when we were there during Thanksgiving). The beach is basically a camp ground so you have deal with a large number of campers on holidays

One the best beach in Goleta, Santa Barbara. It has arrangement for sitting having food and shower. The water of the sea is also good. If you are from India the water might be cold for you.

What an amazing beach with miles of sand - must be careful for tides, as low tide is when you can walk for miles. Otherwise high tides make you scamper on the rocks!

Everyone has ressponsible pet practices. The locals and visitors share the joy of dog ownership on the beaches.

Perfect for locals, easy access, no parking fees. Good for swimming, sun-bathing, fishing off the pier.

This is a great all-around beach, that has just about everything going for it except water warm enough for me. Great pier, beautiful beach, good food and close to UCSB.

I have been going there for 50 years. Nice place with gret pier. (Not many fish when fishing) Great place to fly kites at south end. Great place to bar-b-que with family and friends

Hard to beat the combo of good stuff available here. You are steps away from the UCSB campus, always worth a visit. Stunning beach cliffs and wave action. A great restaurant (Beachside Cafe). Free parking. Dogs are welcome (on leash) in both park and sand. Goleta is still a secret jewel of this region as locals know.

take a sunset walk on Goleta Pier and Beach.great bird watching; easy parking; probably not ideal for swimming as there is a lot of seaweed and ocean plants that wash up here.
