Ocean Beach Hike

8AM Carpool at Sears Auto; 9AM at the trailhead


New Hike.   Surf Beach is a unique hike for Happy Hikers; it has no elevation.  It's as easy or strenuous as any hiker wishes, determined solely by ones pace on the sand.  It is one of the few truly unspoiled beaches in California, only open in the winter to protect nesting birds through the summer.

While some distance from Santa Barbara, it has proved very popular with those who have made the trip and also affords the opportunity to have lunch at Industrial Eats in Buellton following the hike. If you love pizza or gourmet sales, it's a must on the way back to Santa Barbara!

Starting just north of the Vandenberg AFB launch pads, we will hike 4 miles south and return. We typically walk 3-4 miles per hour. Great time of year and low tide should be at 9:20AM.

Directions:  For carpooling, meet at Sears Auto Center (map) before 8AM to carpool.  If you prefer, you can meet us at the trailhead, which is about a one hour drive, at 9AM.  We will go out for lunch afterwards.

Trailhead: Ocean Beach Park, 6851 Ocean Park Rd, Lompoc, CA 93436
