Where
Santa Barbara Mesa and Shore

Cross the foot bridge that leads up and through wind swept woods of Douglas Preserve as we make our way to the bluffs above Arroyo Burro Beach.  From the far point we can follow along the bluff.  If we are lucky, we’ll see a hang-glider leap from the cliff into the breeze that rises from below.  As we leave the Preserve we take a short walk down a residential street (past the Beach Boys old compound) over to the Mesa Lane steps.  Fortunately, we will go down the steps (not up) then along the beach as we make a loop back.  The loop is 2 miles plus some, so if we want a bit more walking we can continue down the beach.  The 200 feet rise at beginning of the walk is a wide path that traverses incline, fun to do at a Relaxed Pace.

After the hike the Good Cup is 2 minutes up Cliff Drive located next to CVS at the corner of Cliff Drive and Meigs Road.  A little hidden, but you can easily access it from the parking lot.

No need to register.  Just show up.  Downpour cancels, but we'll go ahead in light rain. Bring water and sunblock.  

Directions:  We will meet at Hendrys Beach parking area.  You can find us at the far end of the auxiliary parking area.  In simple terms the parking spots most distant from the beach.
