State Beach

Please Note: For the current status of this park, please call (805) 968-1033.

El Capitán State Beach no longer has an RV dump station. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

El Capitán State Beach offers visitors a sandy beach, rocky tidepools, and stands of sycamore and oaks along El Capitán Creek. It’s a perfect setting for swimming, fishing, surfing, picnicking and camping. A stairway provides access from the bluffs to the beach area.

Beach wheelchairs are available for use by the public with no cost. With this specially designed chair, wheelchair users may access the beach at several locations. Contact a ranger or lifeguard for additional information.

The beach is located off Highway 101 seventeen miles west of Santa Barbara.
