Park hours are from 9:00am till dusk.
The improvements to Hightower Beach Park, jointly funded by the Land & Water Conservation Fund and a partnership with Montecito Community Development, were recognized in the National Park Service’s Annual Report to Congress. The City wanted this park to educate its visitors to the uniqueness of the dune and beach system, and empower folks to make a difference. Educational signs are located throughout the park to meet this goal. Come and enjoy the natural beauty of the what this park has to offer. We encourage family and friends to walk or bike to the park.
There are 31 parking spaces (2 ADA); over 18 acres and 2,800 feet of beachfront. Amenities include ADA dune crossover, restrooms, showers, covered picnic areas, 560-foot wooden boardwalk with beach and wildlife observation areas, education signage, and benches.
