Mesa Lane Steps - Beach in Santa Barbara - , USA

Great sunset spot! But go early to get parking and have time to get situated.

Santa Barbara has so many cool spots. We accidentally bumped into this place and what a surprise! Not too crowded, great views and perfect location for sunset as well.

This place was amazingly beautiful! It’s worth the climb. I felt like I was in paradise while going down. ❤️ Pets are ok but put them on leash. Parking on street but a little difficult the day I visited.

The steps are kind of shaky and wobbly. But view ig gorgeous 😍

I liked the experience overall. The steps are nice and provide some really nice views of the ocean from the top. I happened to watch quite a few surfers in the morning and it was quite fun. It has a lot of natural beauty on both sides of the steps so the walk down to the beach is also enjoyable. Parking was easy on a Sunday morning. There is free street parking available right at the entrance of the steps.

Great "hidden" beach access for locals willing to hike down nearly 1000 steps and back up again. If you are looking to walk along or sit on the beach below, be sure to check the tide chart first because the water comes all the way up to the base of the stairs during high tide.

Love this place in Santa Barbara, CA, you go down 250 steps or so, to this beautiful beach and if you are lucky, sometimes you might even see Dolphins just swimming along. Also good for surfers, and if you go in the afternoon you get to see a stunning sunset 🌞, So you get a good exercise and on awesome view.👍❤

This is a pretty quiet and calm place. I love the steps. Did it twice (up and down) and felt like I got a workout. Awesome views too!
