Enjoy a winter day at the beach! Tajiguas Beach is a few miles north of Refugio Beach in Goleta. We will be hunting whalebone and concretions with petrified wood enclosed in rock. Ron Wise, leader.

Meeting time is 8:30 at the trail down to the beach, from the turnout parking spot on southbound 101. Make a U-turn 2.5 miles past the Refugio exit, and park in the first turnout space (.3 mile). See this custom Google map below for explicit directions.

This location is harder to get to when the tide is high. Low tide is 10:00 am and high tide is 3:00 pm. We should be out of there by 2:30.



Pick stuff off the beach. You will need: Bucket or collecting bags, hat, sunscreen, water, lunch. Be prepared for hot, cold, wind, sun. Even though it is a beach trip, sturdy shoes will help on the trail down, and it is a rocky beach, so don't rely on sandals alone.
