Rugged beaches and trails in the Santa Ynez Mountains
With its scenic breathtaking backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, the natural beauty of the California Coast is, by far, Summerland's biggest attraction. Summerland Beach is a favorite for bonfires, surfing, sunbathing and sunset walks. The adjacent Lookout Park has a playground, picnic areas and benches for taking in the scenery. “Lookout Park has a footpath that leads down to the beach. It’s a favorite for residents because once you get past the freeway it’s a relatively private beach,” says Parker. Loon Point is another favorite beach perfect for exploring tidepools and watching the sunset. Summerland is also the only South Coast community that permits horseback riding on the beach. Hikers and mountain bikers will enjoy being close to mountain trails and Toro Canyon Park. Golfers will enjoy nearby championship courses at clubs like Birnam Wood Golf Club. These clubs also typically have fitness centers, tennis courts and classes for those seeking indoor recreation.
Lookout Park in Summerland offers residents and visitors beach access.
