Leadbetter Beach, Public beach in Santa Barbara, United States.
The beach stretches along the Santa Barbara coastline, providing visitors with white sand shores and clear views of the Pacific Ocean.
The construction of Santa Barbara Harbor in the early 20th century altered the natural sand flow, creating the current configuration of Leadbetter Beach.
The beach serves as a gathering place for community events and outdoor activities, including beach volleyball tournaments and water sports competitions.
The location offers facilities such as restrooms, showers, picnic tables with grills, and a large parking area near Santa Barbara City College.
The beach formation resulted from harbor construction blocking the downshore current, with remnants of the original coastline visible 30 yards offshore.
