I went to El Capitan State Beach recently. It's just north of Goleta, which is just north of Santa Barbara. There's more movies of my visit if you click through to my YouTube page.
Group picnic area right on the beach with barbeques!
And here are some actual campers waving to me. Hi guys!
Here's the trail from the main parking lot where it runs down to the beach.
And here's another beach picture.
And another one! There weren't too many people around the day I was here, since there was a storm coming in, but this seagull didn't mind.
Stacked up rocks. Do people do this where you live? I always see it on beaches here.
