SALES DATA

5 Rincon beach communities

The area of oceanside homes between Ventura and Santa Barbara is known as the “Rincon.” There are five separate beachfront communities along that stretch of oceanfront land.

As you go up the coast toward Santa Barbara, the Rincon communities are:

  • Solimar Beach Colony
  • Pacific Coast Highway
  • Faria Beach Colony
  • Seacliff Beach Colony
  • Mussel Shoals

Solimar Beach Colony

Pacific Coast Highway

Faria Beach Colony

Seacliff Beach Colony

Mussel Shoals

Detailed information about each Rincon beach community follows.

Rincon Beach: Solimar Beach Colony

Beachfront or Blufftop: Beachfront
Number of Homes: 58 on / 2 Off
Public Access: Moderate
Walk to Shops/Dining: No
Sandy or Rocky: Sandy, but often “wet”
Guarded/Gated: Gated

The southern-most grouping of beachside homes along the Rincon is a gated enclave known as “Solimar Beach Colony” and it is considered the most desirable of all the Rincon communities.

One of the reasons Solimar Beach Colony is so desirable is that there tends to be more beach sand to walk along on at Solimar Beach than on the other Rincon beaches, which almost always remain “wet” with the waves coming right up to their seawalls.

Solimar residents share use of tennis courts, community playgrounds and gardens.

Another advantage of Solimar Beach Colony is that there are only two non-beachfront homes within the Colony. This not only provides a feeling of spaciousness within the community, but also results in no restrictions against two story homes within the Colony.

In contrast, in Faria Beach Colony, there is a 12’ height restriction on the beachfront homes so that the non-beachfront properties can enjoy ocean views from their second stories.

Beachfront or Blufftop: Beachfront
Number of Homes: 81 on / 0 Off
Public Access: Moderate
Walk to Shops/Dining: No
Sandy or Rocky: Sandy, but “wet”
Guarded/Gated: No

As one progresses up the coast from Solimar, there is a long stretch of 81 beachfront homes with a Pacific Coast Highway address. While these homes are on a busy road, the sound of the ocean drowns out any road noise once one is inside.

These are not within a gated community and therefore do not have separate amenities. However, some of the homes closest to Faria Beach Colony have access to the Colony’s tennis court.

Most of these properties have 40’ of beach frontage.

Rincon Beach: Mussel Shoals

Beachfront or Blufftop: Beachfront
Number of Homes: 28 on / Many off beach
Public Access: Easy; Hotel on beach
Walk to Shops/Dining: Yes
Sandy or Rocky: Sandy, but seasonal
Guarded/Gated: No

The northern-most of the Rincon beaches is Mussel Shoals, an ungated community with 28 beachfront homes, a classic beachfront hotel and restaurant (the Cliff House) and numerous non-beachfront homes.

Of all the beach communities along the Rincon, Mussel Shoals has the best beach. Enjoying a dry sand beach is mostly a year long opportunity on the western side of Mussel Shoals. All the other Rincon beach enclaves generally have “wet beaches” where the sand does not dry out between high tides.

There is a privately owned pier and man-made island right off the beach at Mussel Shoals known as “Rincon Island.” In 2017, Rincon Island was added to the California Coastal Sanctuary, ending the last operational oil drilling and production facility in the Santa Barbara Channel. However, the pier is not accessible to the public.
