The Cabrillo pathway runs along the side of the beach and ocean to and past most of the main ocean-front attractions in the city. It's well-used by bikes and skaters and can get a bit congested at weekends and on holidays; but generally it works well. Getting onto it can be a bit of a mission with a big bike as entry points aren't well signed so we just tracked across the grass to the side and joined the flow of people on the path.Our party of four went biking and it was a lovely ride, though one of our kids had to swerve off the path into a shrub to avoid hitting a couple of small children whose parents decided it was OK for then to run around between the wheels of the bikes. But that can happen anywhere there are idiot parents.The path runs out of steam at Stearns Wharf and it's very tight there to turn round if you wish to. But small niggles aside this is a pleasant way to spend a couple of hours and see some of the sights of the town.
This bike trail has enough room, as long as you watch where you're going, for everyone. Cruise along the iceplant edged path past the boats, sand, birds chicks, and pets. Plenty to see, eat and breathe in as you peddle yourself down the lane. Worth a rental!
Walk or bike along this pathway for a relaxing experience! Take time to experience this beautiful connection with nature. Many migrating birds can be seen along the marshes.
We borrowed cruiser bikes from our hotel and had a great ride along the waterfront and out onto the wharf. It was a blast.
Walk, ride or roll along the beach from the main pier to past the skate park to East Beach, the Cabrillo Bath House and the East Beach Grill - an outdoor cafe that has the best banana blueberry pancake breakfast right at the beach.
This is a must do in SB, even if you just walk it. The path is smooth and clean but you have to be alert to other users when biking as it can get very crowded on the weekends.
I love the idea of the cycle path and enjoyed a safe ride along the front comparing old and new sights.
To run, bike, roller skate, or walk along the coast of the pacific ocean. I recommend going on the weekday as it can get crowded on weekends.
This is one of my favorite places in town. Walk, ride or run it's a great place to be if you are visiting Santa Barbara.
A must do, so beautiful, no rush ride. Just do it Most hotels offer free bikes and it's mostly a flat ride. It follows the coast as the name would suggest. You also pass the Zoo.
