lovely drive along Shoreline. The park is lovely. The walk is even better. Try a longer early morning or sunset walk from Stearns Wharf or Santa Barbara Harbor. Always inspiring and stunning even better to take a long walk from the harbor to end of the park Just below Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach is great for a low tide beach walk.

Great place for a nice bluff walk. Afterwards, walk the beach at Arroyo Burro County Park/Hendrys Beach below and stop for a meal or drinks at the restaurant on the beach. Great sunsets!
