Goleta Beach has seen better days. The tides have been hard on the beach as it's very rocky now. The seaside features tables and restrooms. There used to be a restaurant but it closed recently. It will probably reopen. The bottom line is that it is not a real pretty beach. There is a fair amount of parking.
There are horseshoe pits, picnic tables, barbecues, volleyball courts and kayak rentals. There is also a playground and a pier that allows fishing. You can easily stroll along the beach path up to the UCSB campus from here. Goleta beach is just a few minutes from the Santa Barbara airport, making it a great pit stop before or after a flight.
