About Shoreline Park Beach in Santa Barbara, California
Shoreline Park is a linear grassy park located in the East Mesa neighborhood of Santa Barbara, CA. Below the park is a narrow rock and sand beach that is backed by steep cliff walls. These walls are pocked with small alcoves and other unique natural features to discover. There is a stairwell to the beach near the center of the park. At low tide there are tide pools to explore, but at high tide the beach is narrow or all covered up by the surf. From the bottom of the stairs you can walk on the sand west (right) to Thousand Steps Beach at Santa Cruz Boulevard, but this one is also narrow. If you are looking for a typical wide sandy beach, Leadbetter Beach is down a ramp at the east end of the park. Shoreline Park has paved walking paths with benches looking over the edge of the cliffs. This is a great spot for whale watching and views of the Channel Islands. Because the park is up on a bluff, it also has views back toward the Santa Ynez Mountains. Shoreline Park has two parking areas at each end of the park off of Shoreline Drive. To get here, head west on Cabrillo Boulevard from the Santa Barbara Waterfront and look for the park on the left after the road turns into Shoreline Drive.
