I've gone here on quite a few occasions for a nice, relaxing, quiet beach walk. It doesn't get very crowded so you can walk for a really long time and only come across one or two people. There's not much here and a lot of wide open space so I imagine it would be a great place to bring dogs. It is pretty far out of the way so I don't know that a ton of people come out here. I imagine it would be a great place to view the sunset.
Muh favorite beach ever. Perfect place to just sit in the car and be grateful to be alive. We have so many good memories here. Dogs are not allowed, it is a nature preserve.
Good place to get away. Just remember if it's 80's the sand will get really hot, if it's windy your legs will get sand basted. Also part of the park is fenced off starting in Oct and reopen in March 1st but you can always walk on the beach for about a mile where the fence ends and hike the bigger dunes.
It was fun cycling. Mostly flat except for 2 short hills in the dunes. Not much traffic. Beautiful spot. Absolutely no dogs allowed, even inside a car, because it's a recovery area for an endangered species (Snowy Plover). As a dog lover, it's worth the sacrifice to be good to the planet. There is access to the beach and hiking trails in the dunes.
Always a gorgeous view, extremely windy like EXTREMELY windy but nonetheless a beautiful site to behold and drive through always make it a priority to stop by when traveling through Santa maria. Hope to enjoy the actual water some day
When it is time to leave, get out. They start closing up 15 minutes before the actual close time, fyi. Nice beach, well taken care of. Enjoy the scene! There is a restroom but bring wet wipes if you need to do anything other than #1.
We were really impressed by the beauty of the sand dunes. That's something unique and it's really worth the visit. We hiked to the South for about one hour and came back going on the dunes. The scenery is breathtaking, with the sand, the sky, the ocean and the wild flowers.
There are patches of tar on the beach and you will get your feet/shoes dirty. The rangers told us that it has a natural origin.
Great beach walk with views of the huge dunes and snowy plover. We found several cool rock formations and a few natural water seeps (small spring). The walk was ~4.5 miles round-trip.
