1000 Steps Beach on Postcard

"One Thousand Steps Beach, Santa Barbara by Amanda Proudfit. Not quite 1000 steps, but it can sure feel like it on your way back up! This tucked away little beach makes for a great sunset walk away from the crowds of the main beaches, but still close enough that you’re not too far away from all the downtown action. Depending on what time of year you visit, you might have a smooth and sandy experience, or a rocky and tide pool visit."

Our son found this place on Google so we went to check it out. It's definitely not 1000 steps unless you go up and down them a few times. The tide wasn't high when we were there so we were able to get to the beach which is mainly rocks. Beautiful sunset! We will definitely go back next time we're here.

Only 150vdyeps to the beach. Very secluded. No parking. Walk from the parking lot a couple blocks away.

Beautiful place to visit! Definitely check the weather for high tide as we were not able to enjoy the beach even though the view was beautiful! Parking is limited at the end of a dead end street, the time of day we went was close to 1:00 p.m. and We were the only ones there. I can't really rate the beach itself since we weren't on it but the views are astounding!

Beautiful beach and, despite the name, it isn’t 1000 steps down to the beach. About 150 stairs with a good hand rail and you’re there. Make sure you pay attention to the ride because, if it’s high tide, there is no beach to walk. Go during low tide!!

Very cute stop! No immediate parking but there's some nearby. During lower tide you can walk the rocky beach.

The beach itself is nice. Be ready to tackle several stairs to get to the beach. It wasn't bad, but if you're not in shape, I wouldn't attempt it. It's not too busy, which makes it a great stop to relax. I'm not familiar with Santa Barbara beaches. When I got back to my hotel, I noticed my feet were concerned in black blotches. Found out it was oil. Yuck.

Beautiful photo spot! Definitely not 1000 steps and there’s hand rails available. Take about 6min ish to walk all the way down. It is much smaller/shorter than I expected but overall good spot to visit.

I absolutely loved visiting this beach and just walking around this gorgeous area! It was such a blast to see all of the natural beauty and revel in mother nature’s good qualities. There are many people doing diverse activities, and yet, you still feel safe with masks and walking with a certain amount of distance! It’s a great place for a leisurely and calming walk along the seashore.
