October Paddle (Santa Barbara)
Details
Join our October paddle in Santa Barbara! We'll meet at the Santa Barbara Harbor boat launch (see map), cruise the harbor and Stearns Wharf, and finish off with coffee and a bite at Helena Ave Bakery (131 Anacapa). 🎃
A few notes:
- ⏰ TIMING: We'll plan to set sail no later than 9:10 AM, so please have your paddle gear on the ramp and ready to roll.
- 🚗 PARKING: Paid public parking is available in the Main Harbor Lot at the boat ramp (483-689 Shoreline Dr, Santa Barbara, CA 93109).
If you're new here, read on:
- 🛶 PADDLE: Stand-up paddleboards (SUPs), kayaks, canoes, and the like are all welcome. When in doubt, go for it.
- ➡️ FORMAT: We typically paddle for about an hour, deflate/load our gear in our cars, and then reconvene for some hangs. Shortcuts are welcome and no worries if you have to cut out after the paddle.
- ⚠️ SAFETY: Have a life jacket on board for safety & to avoid a ticket. All paddlers are responsible for their own safety.
- 💡 EXPERIENCE: This route involves going from the harbor out into the open ocean. It is usually calm, but may be challenging for beginners.
- 🛟 RENTALS: We're not affiliated with the rental companies but encourage you to research options on your own!
