About Devereux Beach in Isla Vista, California

Devereux Beach is on the east side of Coal Oil Point in Isla Vista, CA. Behind the beach is the west campus of the University of California Santa Barbara. Surfers enjoy this surf spot that has a solid right hand break and tide pools seekers can find a reef right at the point to explore at low tides. West of the point is Sands Beach in front of the Devereux Lagoon in Coal Oil Point Natural Reserve which is owned by the state and managed by UCSB. The best free parking for Devereux is at the Camino Majorca Beach Access in Isla Vista. From this street corner a short path leads to a stairway beach access where you can walk west (right) on the sand to Devereux. A trail on the bluff also follows the route west to Devereux and in several spots you can climb down to the beach.
