About Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara’s American Riviera coastline offers picturesque, palms-lined beaches supported by Stearns Wharf, East Beach, Leadbetter Beach, and Arroyo Burro (Hendry’s Beach). Leadbetter is a favorite longboarding spot for beginner and intermediate surfers, while Arroyo Burro features dog-friendly sands and rocky headlands with tide pools teeming with small crabs and anemones. Stearns Wharf serves as a popular pier for crabbing and ocean views. Checking the tide schedule helps visitors time surf sessions when point breaks align, ensures plenty of sand for beachgoers at high tide, and reveals the exposed rock benches at Arroyo Burro during low tide.
