Refugio State Beach offers excellent coastal fishing as well as trails and picnic sites. Palm trees planted near Refugio Creek give a distinctive look to the beach and camping area. Lifeguards patrol the beach year around while lifeguard towers are only staffed roughly from Memorial day weekend through Labor day weekend. Beach wheelchairs are available for use by the public at no cost. With this specially designed chair, wheelchair users may access the beach at several locations. Contact a ranger or lifeguard for additional information.
Visitors can get a unique perspective of the coast line by taking the kayak tours offered by State Park Lifeguards. There are tours available for intermediate and beginning kayakers, and are held roughly from Memorial Day weekend through August.

Note – For State Parks: We currently cannot deliver within the state park campgrounds (Gaviota, Refugio, El Capitan, Carpinteria & Emma Wood). For the these locations, we deliver to the outside of the campground and you would need to tow the trailer in from there. We are in-progress for obtaining a State Park concession permit and look forward to being able to provide full service delivery to these locations sometime in 2023.
