First, the trees are beautiful, I'm from Southern California, and there were trees that we don't often see in the beach area, so we were awe struck by the beauty. Second, there are plenty of picnic benches and lots of trash receptacles. This park is not super large but a good spot for kids to run around and play on the park equipment... most important, an idyllic spot for a picnic.

We've been back to the Santa Barbara Yacht Club many times since my last review, always rolling…read morewith our sons and their grandparents, and often with other family, too. It's a great default for an easy kid-friendly lunch or dinner, with pleasant atmosphere, friendly (if reliably slow) service, and a view of the harbor that never fails to entertain the four-and-under crew. The food is solid, and has gotten better since my first visit, thanks to a new chef. There's a one-bite uni and puffed rice appetizer that's always a nice treat, and I like the meatballs and shrimp cocktail and coconut shrimp too. I haven't settled on a go-to entrée, but everything has been pretty good. I can't remember everything I've had here, but I've enjoyed the linguine and clams, the curried chicken salad, and the monthly lobster dinner with asparagus and mashed potatoes. The kid's menu works well for my boys, who eat the grilled cheese, the chicken tenders, and the butter and marinara pastas. Honestly, I'd like the yacht club even if the food kind of sucked. My father-in-law got married here a couple years ago (bride and groom were youthful and glowing at 77 and 79), and it was a lovely venue for a small wedding, with the ceremony and the dinner on different floors of the club. When they're not getting married, he and his wife seem to treat the place like an extension of their home. The people know them and always greet them warmly, which my husband and I appreciate. The yacht club is now one of our default restaurants when we're in town, and both of our boys have grown to know and like the place. It's a nice, comfortable spot in the heart of beautiful Santa Barbara, where my husband and I can enjoy a leisurely drink (the wine pours are quite generous) while the kids hang out with their grandparents. We've already made lots of memories here, and I expect we'll make many more in the years to come.

Since we're both from Santa Barbara, we really wanted to show off our beautiful hometown to all our family and friends, and the Yacht Club was the ideal spot to do that. The waterfront setting was exactly what we dreamed of for bringing everyone together, and the service throughout the evening was fantastic. Our guests had such a great time, and we heard so many comments about how beautiful the location was. Kayla made the whole planning process so smooth and easy, and was incredibly accommodating when we had to adjust our timeline due to my cancer treatment. The welcome party really set the perfect tone for the whole weekend--it was intimate, beautiful, and gave everyone a chance to mingle before the big day. Highly recommend the Yacht Club and Kayla specifically for any special event!

My partner and I are regulars at Campus Point Beach. It is highly accessible for a disabled person…read more There are bathrooms and a shower to wash off sand. The view of the shoreline and islands are majestic. A great spot for a picnic, a romantic walk on the beach, or equally, how about an angry irritated walk on the beach? The meditative rhythm of the waves soothes the soul. We regularly spot surfers, pelicans, sandpipers, dolphins, seals, whales, sailboats, cruise ships, The Channel Islands, and even anemones and limpets when tidepoooling. The only warning: The beach is now transformed, much of the sand is gone and the shore is very rocky since the recent unprecedented storms and atmospheric rivers. This makes for unstable ground. The UCSB lagoon is a beautiful spot and adjacent to the beach. There are also easy hiking trails to explore nearby. The UCSB Marine Lab is also located at Campus Point and offers touch tanks full of aquatic discovery and learning, tactile stimulation and joyful wonder! So make haste and head to the beach already!

One of the best views on the campus! The more you walk to the right of the cliffs, you will find the Labyrinth! You have to do the Labyrinth when you come to UCSB, you will feel so accomplished! Right before you enter the beach, there is UCSB's Reef. You can come here and touch a variety of sea creatures from, starfish to fish, they have it all! Super super cool experience! Depending on the day and the tides, this beach and Sands is the best to get your surf on in Goleta. You can always rent paddle boards, wet suits, kayaks and surfboards from UCSB's Recreation Center right off the water! It ranges from $10-$30 an hour depending on what you're renting or $30-$60 all day.

But, the staff member mike really needs to work on his customer service skills. When we walked in he didn't greet us at all and told us to "come to the window" as if we should already know where to go (it was our first time) then when the iPad was not working properly he made no effort to apologize or give a solution. He was also rude and off putting when I asked for a rash guard. I wanted to stay warm in the sometimes chilly ocean and when I asked for the shirt his reply was "you won't get rashed up kayaking" as if that was a dumb request to make. Like I said before, kayaking was a nice experience but mike really needs some work.
