Owned by Santa Barbara County, Sea Lookout Park is the largest ocean-side park on Del Playa. This expansive grassy area is a popular spot for picnicking and recreational activities, welcoming hundreds of visitors each day. The park features a well-loved volleyball court, suitable for both large and small groups, and wooden structures that offer scenic ocean views. Designed by landscape artist Lloyd Hamrol, Sea Lookout Park also includes a plaque commemorating The Isla Vista Tree—a majestic cypress that once hung over the ocean and symbolized Isla Vista’s quest for self-governance. After the tree fell into the ocean, residents advocated for the plaque to honor its significance to the community.
