Leadbetter Beach

It is easily accessible from the Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) and the marina, and has light surf which is acceptable for learners.

When Santa Barbara Harbor was built, it blocked the downshore current, holding up the natural sand flow.

The college is built on the original coastline's front cliffs, now about 30 yards off-shore; the original beach front lies where the current SBCC football field is located.

The blocking of sand from downshore cities prompted several lawsuits against Santa Barbara.
