East Beach, Sandy beach in Santa Barbara, United States.
East Beach extends along a palm-lined coast with volleyball courts, a playground, and pathways connecting to Stearns Wharf and Santa Barbara Zoo.
The beach became part of Santa Barbara's waterfront development in the early 1900s, transforming from natural coastline into a recreational destination for residents and visitors.
The numerous volleyball courts at East Beach host regular tournaments, making it a central location for California's beach sports community.
Beach wheelchairs, both manual and motorized, are available free of charge at the Cabrillo Pavilion, requiring only identification and a liability waiver.
The beach forms part of the California Coastal Trail system, offering over six miles of paved paths with direct access to local landmarks and outdoor activities.
