About Goleta

Goleta features gentle, south-facing beaches backed by coastal bluffs and oak groves, supported by Goleta Beach County Park, Coal Oil Point, and Ellwood Bluffs. Coal Oil Point is a famous longboarding destination featuring a smooth point break, while the adjacent reserve hosts protected tide pools and marine habitats. Goleta Beach Pier provides popular spots for casual fishing and seasonal crabbing. Tracking tide predictions is important here; low tide uncovers the rocky intertidal shelves around Coal Oil Point for tide pool viewing and expands the walking space below Ellwood Bluffs before high tides push waves up to the base of the cliffs.
