"Butterfly Beach, Santa Barbara by Amanda Proudfit. Located along Channel drive right by the Ritz Carlton, this beach is low key and always a good time. Parking’s never really an issue, and at low tide it’s possible to walk all the way to East Beach. If you’d rather, you can also get here via the paved bike path that runs from the Wharf and stops here, it’s a really lovely ride. Unfortunately there are no public restrooms here, so plan accordingly."
