Jalama Beach County Park

Beach

👍👍 Beautiful beach. It is far off the beaten path so you don't have much competition for a spot on the beach. The camp sites are extremely affordable, but book early for the peak season. Also it is 40 miles from the nearest gas station so full up long before you get there. The is no cell phone cove...

Pomponio State Beach

Beach

👍👍 This was a fun, random stop to stretch our legs while driving down Hwy 1. We saw some cool caves and there was a lot of ocean life in the little puddles on the bluffs. A fun place to explore and move around before getting back on the road.

Garrapata Beach ( 马蹄莲 Calla)

Beach

👍👍 Not only is this a dog friendly beach, but it’s one of the best beaches I’ve ever been to. The bluffs are nice to walk along, it’s easy to access the beach, there’s surfers to watch if you want to sit on the beach and just relax (not my style), the sand is comfortable to walk barefoot on, but the be...

Campus Point Beach

Beach

👍👍 This is a beach right at the edge of UCSB, makes UCSB one of the most desirable campuses of the entire UC system. More difficult to get into than UC Berkeley! It's a great experience to walk to the beach right after class and, meet other Students. This is a great place for a photo shoot and, with no...

Cayucos Beach

Beach

👍👍 When you live on the Central Coast of CA, you get spoiled with all the many beaches. Since we have so many, you get either tourists, or a few locals. The beach has a pier which has an interesting history since it established Cayucos as a transit and shipping point early on. The Vets Center used to b...

Pleasure Point

Beach

👍👍 Beautiful scenery, must see!

Wall Beach

Beach

👍👍 This was one of my favorite to go to spots on base. The rock formations are beautiful, one looks like a boat, others have small caves, other rocks form pools. There is hardly any people around, and there is no phone signal which I didn't mind. Early in the morning you will see surfers and at the end...

Moonstone Beach

Beach

👍👍 Great place to visit for a day trip or a weekend. There are plenty of hotels right across the street. There are plenty of places to eat within a 5 minute drive. The beach isn't over crowded like Pismo and other locations. Also its an ideal place to find cool rocks and shells. Perfect place to visit...

Mesa Lane Steps

Beach

👍 I liked the experience overall. The steps are nice and provide some really nice views of the ocean from the top. I happened to watch quite a few surfers in the morning and it was quite fun. It has a lot of natural beauty on both sides of the steps so the walk down to the beach is also enjoyable. Par...
