Santa Barbara

Still don't know what to call this massive rock on Hendry's Beach. I've heard it called Proposal Rock before, but I'm not sure that's official! This is located a little north up the coast from Hendry's Beach and can make for some cool photos.

Arroyo Burro Beach
Arroyo Burro Beach, also known as Hendry's Beach by locals, has a reputation as a "dog beach", and is a popular location for dog owners to walk their pets off leash, though Arroyo Burro itself is actually on-leash (the off-leash area is just east below the Wilcox Property Douglas Family Preserve). Arrive early to secure a parking spot! This is a favorite place of ours to walk in the mornings with a cup of coffee.
