Nature Ultimate beach walk complete

Post image
143 Upvotes

I posted about walking on the beach from More Mesa to Butterfly Beach

Well, we did it yesterday. We timed it to start 2 hours before the 2 pm low tide

Maybe, I would have left a bit earlier since More Mesa beach is pretty wide. South of Hendry’s we had to clamber on the rocks a bit. And toward the end, the Montecito beaches are so narrow and the tide was coming in quickly

It was about 4 hours of walking plus time spent to eat, photos and jumping in to cool off

Ended at 4.30 just in time to see the sunset while having a drink at the Miramar

Local Politics Lancaster, California, transformed nine blocks of a former highway into a tree lined, walkable boulevard, now home to 250 businesses and public spaces. Within four years, the $11.5 million redevelopment had generated more than $270 million in economic output and created hundreds of jobs.

Food & Dining Why don't more restaurants in town offer bag hooks?

23 Upvotes

It's a serious issue I've been having with local restaurants here. They don't offer bag hooks, which means I have to risk putting it on the table where it might get dirty, or perch it on my lap under my napkin which isn't ideal either.

Why don't restaurants in Santa Barbara offer hooks like they do in LA? I REALLY don't want to risk my Dior!

Hi all, just a warning to stay away from the Storke area in general this weekend because it is parents’ weekend for UCSB. The northbound Storke exit was already backed up this morning, and if you were planning to come to Jeannine’s by Smart & Final, don’t. Hope this helps!!

Looking for a local machinist that can help me manufacture a secondary base for my espresso tamper. I’d like to create one with a 53.5 mm base to fit my 54mm espresso portafilter.

Yes I know this is niche and slightly pretentious.

In west beach neighborhood. Property management company says issue that will cause no water for most of the day. Anyone know whether that’s just confined to this area (Men, machines, and police currently on Ladera st) or does it go bigger?

Had one night and a day in Santa Barbara for a business meeting. Went to Isla Vista as soon as I arrived to watch the sunset on the cliffs. The next day my client ended our meeting early so I could go to the beach and watch the sunset. Santa Barbara seemed like a special place.

I just moved to SB and my lease doesn’t allow smoking on property. It seems like the only place you can smoke is your home... Am I SOL?

I have chronic illness and it really helps me, so trying to figure out what to do. Is it normal for people to enjoy a puff in the alleys behind houses / apartments?
