"Otherwise known as Hendry’s Beach, another great beach in Santa Barbara to enjoy the waves or have a picnic with your family and friends. They have grills, free parking, and there's a dog friendly area of beach here too. Win, win." - Amanda Proudfit

Very nice dog Beach. You can keep walking south for miles to find beautiful desolate beaches and caves. Dogs are able to be off leash. Parking is limited though so you have to get lucky to find a spot if arriving after the morning. There is a cool look out spot at the top of the stairs. That's where I took my pictures. I would highly recommend this place.

Great place!
Very good for families with kids.
There are bathrooms, beach showers.
The park has picnic area, grills, place for games.
Left side of the beach allows dogs. There is a self service dog wash.
It has a beautiful overview (the stairs to it are behind the restaurant). The restaurant is pretty good with indoor and outdoor seating with good view.
Free parking. During high season might be difficult to find a parking spot.

Dog heaven. My dog starts to cry as we pull into the parking lot because he’s so excited for this place! Have only experienced friendly people and wonderful dogs off leash.

Beautiful beach, we sat and saw dolphins going up and down.
Great waves for body boarding, I tried body surfing lol
Nearby parking and restaurant (awesome burger btw 🍔) plus a reasonable free public WC

One of our favorite beach spots. Dog friendly, leash free on the south beach, great walking with the occasional hang glider to entertain you. Restaurant is pricy but good. Parking can be tricky.

We went to have dinner at Boat House at Henry’s Beach and the food was really good and the drinks too. The ambiance was perfect. They don’t take advance reservations so make sure you go with plenty of time. We went on a Friday night and the wait time was 1.5 hours.

It's a great dog Beach, free parking, nice self pay dog wash, would be absolutely perfect if not for sooooo much TAR, my God! Our dog had a great time but it was honestly not worth the time it took to clean her paws and fur after. Took 2 hours with dawn soap and coconut oil, plus our own feet and shoes. Such a mess. Will most definitely not be back.

Love this beach! There's an off leash area where they can play in the surf, and an easy to use washing station near the overflow parking to get all the salt off. Everyone was very responsible and friendly!
