Surf: Mushy, gentle, long rights off a scenic point boasting great views of the Santa Barbara Harbor and Stearns Wharf. Ideal for beginners and longboarders. Can be really fun with bigger W swells or large windswells. More sectiony and lined-up at low tide, fatter at high tide. Surfers of all abilities crowd the line-up here, but it’s almost always all longboards. Good vibes despite the crowding. Environment: Access is by parking along Cliff Drive or La Marina Boulevard, or in the free car park at pleasant Shoreline Park. Take the trail down the bluff fronting the wave.
