Latest reviews on Summerland's beaches

Santa Claus Beach
10 Haydee Stampy

Last Saturday was our first visit to this beach, and it wasn't very crowded. Parking is limited, and we had to cross a railroad track to reach the beach, which was just a few steps away. There's a beautiful beach house, and the beach itself was lovely. Watching the train pass by was quite interesting.

Santa Barbara Beach

What could be more delightful than frolicking on the beach? Santa Barbara beach offers a picturesque setting with tall palm trees and all the amenities for a delightful day in the sun. The beach boasts a well-maintained playground for children and volleyball courts for adults. Additionally, visitors will find clean restrooms and water spigots to rinse off sand. During our visit, we were delighted to discover a yoga class taking place on the beach - a perfect way to connect with nature and get some exercise in. As part of our San Diego road trip from the SF Bay area, we decided to explore some filming locations of the popular comedy series Psych on Amazon Prime. Santa Barbara beach was one of the spots we chose to visit, and we were not disappointed. The parking lot is spacious, and payment is made at the meter. Overall, we highly recommend Santa Barbara beach to anyone in the area. It's the perfect destination for a day of fun and relaxation.

Carpinteria Beach
10 Aiden Marquez.

What a delightful discovery! Our intention was to witness the sunset, and we were fortunate to stumble upon this peaceful location. The absence of crowds made it all the more serene, and the early evening was simply stunning. To our amazement, we were able to witness both the sunset and moonrise simultaneously, a rare occurrence indeed. Notably, this beach is conveniently located near downtown Carpinteria. We enjoyed the experience so much that we returned the following day, at the same time, and indulged in a delightful picnic.

West Beach

The beach in Santa Barbara was absolutely beautiful. The water was perfect for swimming and the boardwalk provided a charming atmosphere.

Leadbetter Beach
10 Sarina Liang

This beach is the perfect place to unwind and bask in the sun with your furry companion, Nala B. The beach is not overly crowded, and there is paid parking available for your convenience. The shoreline is simply beautiful, making it an ideal spot to soak up the scenery and enjoy the serene atmosphere.

Loon Point Beach

This secluded beach is absolutely gorgeous and offers amazing views! Bring your pup along and enjoy a peaceful visit without the hustle and bustle of a crowded beach.
