Beaches
Santa Barbara's beaches are beautiful and delightful. To catch a sunset you must visit Butterfly Beach, one of the few beaches that face west for the perfect sunset. A pristine beach that not only offers modern amenities, but privacy too, is Hendry's Beach. Make sure to arrive early as parking is limited. If you're looking for a great beach for the whole family, try East Beach which offers volleyball courts, a boardwalk and restaurants close by.
