Hendrys Beach, officially named Arroyo Burro Beach Park, is a small, crescent-shaped beach located at the base of cliffs in Santa Barbara, California. It is a popular launch and landing point for kayakers and stand-up paddleboarders who haul their own gear, as there are no on-site watersports vendors. Access to the sand is via a concrete ramp from the parking area. The main parking lot is shared with the public beach and a restaurant, and it often fills to capacity, especially on weekends and busy beach days, so arriving early is advisable. The beach faces the open ocean and is known for its surfing conditions, particularly from summer to fall, indicating the presence of waves and a shore break that paddlers must navigate when entering and exiting the water. The scenic backdrop includes views of the Santa Ynez Mountains and cliffs. A notable nearby natural feature is the Douglas Family Preserve, an open-space area with trails atop the bluffs overlooking the beach. During winter low tides, vibrant tide pools teeming with marine life are exposed along the shore. Common paddle routes include trips from Hendrys Beach to the Santa Barbara Harbor, a journey that follows the coastline. Amenities for paddlers include restrooms, outdoor showers to rinse off gear, and a dog wash station. Leashed dogs are permitted on the beach east of Arroyo Burro Creek. The beach is also equipped with picnic tables and charcoal grills, and the Boathouse at Hendry's Beach restaurant is adjacent to the parking area.
