  Join fellow walkers at Hendry's Beach (aka Arroyo Burro Beach County Park) every Tuesday and Thursday morning at 8:40 to walk the beach, visit, make new friends and catch up with old friends, spot whales and dolphins, and get fresh air and exercise. We'll meet at the top of the stairs down to the beach, between The Boathouse restaurant and the lifeguard stand. Some of us walk fast, and some of us stroll. We suggest wearing appropriate shoes to walk on the beach or up to the nearby Douglas Preserve, when the tide is high. After the walk, we will often gather at the picnic tables near our starting point, and share a snack and conversation. Hope to see you there!

• Weekend Amblers: UCSB North Campus Open Space Hike

  • When
    October 05, 2025
  •  
    2:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Location
    UCSB North Campus Open Space 6969 Whittier Drive Goleta, CA, 93117

  

  

  Join Weekend Amblers on our popular UCSB North Campus Open Space walk, a crowd favorite! The NCOS estuary, upland, and wetland restoration project supports a diversity of birds, fish, and wildlife, absorbs flood waters, and is adaptive to sea level rise on 136 acres of a former golf course. Two and a half miles of relatively level trails provide scenic views and great photo ops, taking us out to the beach and back. For this walk, due to the bird habitation, especially the snowy plover nesting project on the beach and the end of their nesting season, we are asking that dogs don't participate this day. The main entrance and parking lot for NCOS is just west of Storke Road at 6969 Whittier Drive, Goleta. Look for the red Newcomers sign and park at the visitor plaza. After this afternoon amble, we will take a little wine time at the Samsara Winery Tasting Room, 6485 Calle Real, Suite E, Goleta, CA 93117, in the Carneros Business Center. This winery curates its lovely wines from select vineyards in the Santa Rita Hills. You might take home a bottle (or two!) after all that exercise!
