Summerland is a census designated place in Santa Barbara County, California. The population was 1,448 at the 2010 census, down from 1,545 at the 2000 census. Summerland is a beautiful town nestled in the heart of the Okanagan Valley.
Santa Barbara Bird Sanctuary is to create positive, enriching environments for companion parrots, minimize neglect and ignorance that lead to relinquishment, and make space for birds entrusted to us who outlive their owners.
Lookout Park is the main beachfront park in Summerland, located up on a bluff with a south-facing view. Summerland Beach is right below Lookout Park. The park is operated by Santa Barbara County parks and includes a free parking lot, a grass park, benches, picnic tables, BBQs, a kids playground, a volleyball court, restrooms, and the dog wash.
Summerland Beach is one of the best on the South Coast and is located in the community of - you guessed it - Summerland, just a six-mile drive east along the coast from Santa Barbara. This pretty stretch of coastline is well worth a look for anyone planning a beach outing - especially with a dog. This beach offers not only terrific views, but also an off leash experience and a for-pay self service dog wash.
