Also known as Campus Point, Goleta Point is a small peninsula found off the city of Goleta. The rock formation forms an extension into the Santa Barbara Channel and is popular with several species of shorebirds. You can walk through the beach cliffs, listening to the sound of crashing waves, as you explore this stunning place. Goleta Point is said to be one of Santa Barbara’s best surf breaks, though the conditions are dependent on the direction of the wind and swell. It’s a great place to go exploring and enjoy the lovely outdoors while in the area.
