The Goleta Beach Trail is popular among UCSB students going between campus and Goleta Beach State Park. The trail follows the seashore from campus to the park; a side loop swings north across the irrigation channel to Sandspit Road. At Goleta Beach, the trail links to the
Atascadero Creek Trail.
Parking is available where Sandspit Road and Moffett Place intersect, at Goleta Beach State Park, and on campus (though may be restricted to permit parking only).
