El Capitán State Beach, State beach in Santa Barbara County, US

El Capitán State Beach extends along the Pacific coast with sycamore trees, oak groves, and eucalyptus stands near the sandy shoreline.

The California State Parks system acquired El Capitán Beach in 1953, transforming it from a private coastal property into a public recreation area.

The beach serves as an educational center where rangers conduct programs about marine ecology, coastal habitats, and environmental conservation throughout the year.

The campground contains 130 sites equipped with picnic tables and fire rings, accommodating both tents and recreational vehicles up to 42 feet long.

Five separate group camping areas situated on marine terraces provide panoramic ocean views and can host gatherings of 40 to 100 people.
