Las Positas, CA

Santa Barbara

Still don't know what to call this massive rock on Hendry's Beach. I've heard it called Proposal Rock before, but I'm not sure that's official! This is located a little north up the coast from Hendry's Beach and can make for some cool photos.

Arroyo Burro Beach
Arroyo Burro Beach, also known as Hendry's Beach by locals, has a reputation as a "dog beach", and is a popular location for dog owners to walk their pets off leash, though Arroyo Burro itself is actually on-leash (the off-leash area is just east below the Wilcox Property Douglas Family Preserve). Arrive early to secure a parking spot! This is a favorite place of ours to walk in the mornings with a cup of coffee.

The rooms ...

Friendly staff, ample parking, great location and pretty quiet. Rooms spacious and clean but they are pretty dated. Could use a makeover and newer smart TV’s but the bed was very comfortable and no bad odors. All in all, good value
