lovely drive along Shoreline. The park is lovely. The walk is even better. Try a longer early morning or sunset walk from Stearns Wharf or Santa Barbara Harbor. Always inspiring and stunning even better to take a long walk from the harbor to end of the park Just below Shoreline Park, Leadbetter Beach is great for a low tide beach walk.
