This hike runs along East Beach from Stearns Wharf to Cabrillo Pavilion.The beach itself is sandy and sparsely populated, making it a great place to relax and have fun, while being able to take in the classic view of Santa Barbara.<br><br> At the base of Stearns Wharf hike down the coast along the paved path that parallels E. Cabrillo Blvd. You'll quickly cross over Mission Creek on a bridge before passing the long and narrow Chase Palm Park. Eventually the path ends as it runs into E. Cabrillo Blvd. at the eastern extent of the Chase Palm Park. <br><br>Parking at Stearns Wharf is limited to street parking on Cabrillo Blvd and paid parking lots adjacent to the beach.<br><br>Thanks to John McKinney, The Trailmaster, for sharing this trail description.
