User reviews
"The beach is absolutely stunning and conveniently located near UCSB campus. You can easily park your car at a nearby lot designated for the school and take a short walk to reach the beach. The only drawback is the large number of students, which might make you feel a bit older amidst the crowd. Apart from that, it's truly fantastic."

"I used to come to this beach with my friend and enjoy some recreational activities while amusing ourselves by playing harmless pranks on high school students who would visit the campus. I would rate it a perfect 10 out of 10."
