Beachfront Homes for Sale in Santa Barbara Area

There are approximately 300 homes considered to be Beachfront properties. Many of these homes have been owned by the same families for generations. Because of the infrequency of availability, these properties are the highest priced amongst all in Santa Barbara County.

The area, rich in its vibrant display of the Pacific Ocean and Channel Islands, offers the finest views California beachfront homes have to offer.
The waterfront, extending 3.7 miles from Shoreline Park to the Bird Refuge, was originally home to five very established pre-Colombian Chumash Indian villages. In 1872, however, Sterns Wharf was constructed which proved to be the beginning of a booming industry for Santa Barbara. Soon wealthy health-seekers made Santa Barbara a fashionable resort, creating a reputation this area continues to be known for worldwide.
