Semi-Private Beach Horseback Ride at Haskell’s Beach
Our 75+ minute Semi-Private Beach Ride unfolds entirely on the sand, offering a rare and uninterrupted coastal experience—free from busy roads, railroad crossings, or freeway overpasses. From the moment the ride begins, the focus is on calm, connection, and the natural beauty of the shoreline.
Located in Goleta, just north of Santa Barbara and adjacent to the iconic The Ritz-Carlton Bacara Resort, we access this stretch of coastline through a discreet, private entry to Haskell’s Beach within the Elwood Beach Preserve. The result is a setting that feels remote, quiet, and wonderfully unspoiled.
The beach here is wide and expansive, framed by rolling dunes and rich coastal wildlife. Guests are often delighted by sightings of dolphins just offshore, pelicans gliding low across the waves, and—on special occasions—a whale moving slowly along the horizon. It is, quite simply, a bucket-list experience.
Weekday guests may enjoy $30 in savings per couple, making this unforgettable ride even more appealing.
To complete the experience, all bookings include a complimentary two-for-one wine tasting gift certificate from Carr Winery, with locations in downtown Santa Barbara and the Village of Santa Ynez.
