Santa Barbara Shores Park

While this spot is beautiful, I was so sadden to see the beach covered with globs of tar, no doubt from the oil refinery just off shore. The smell of the tar was awful but the fact that my dogs paws were covered in the stuff is probably the worst part. So sad to see an absolutely beautiful beach ruined by humans..

Great place to site the moon for Ramadan or Eid. Relatively easy trails but be careful of damage caused by winter rains.
No bathrooms.

An absolutely incredible park. So many trails, so many amazing views. Genuinely was blown away by this place.

Beautiful sights and views at the end of groomed trails. So many walking/hiking options with gorgeous views of the water and Bluffs at the end. Worth the trek back to the beach to hang out for the day. I could have spent the day here, but was not prepared as thought it was just a hike out and back.

Such a beautiful and relaxing park with incredible ocean views! Perfect spot for a peaceful walk, picnic, or just to enjoy the fresh air and scenery. The park is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of open space and benches to sit and take in the views. A must-visit when in Santa Barbara!
