These images were taken shortly before our Conservation Biology class was heading to Prisoner’s Cove at the Santa Cruz Islands. At Surfer’s Knoll, a couple of colleagues of mine walked to the beach and they noticed that the tides were higher and the jetties had also caused some more tides break near the shore. We […]
This photo was taken at the top of the Chumash Trail early in the morning around 7am. I could not help but to stop and gaze at the beautiful sight depicted in this photo. As you can see, Anacapa Island is dark but the sun is illuminating Santa Cruz Island. Unfortunately this photo does no […]
For my final blog post on beaches, I chose to visit one that I go to very often. My mom has been taking me to Zuma beach ever since I was a little kid and I had not actually been back in over a year so my memory was hazy. As soon as I stepped […]
This past, while I was traveling up north, I stopped and visited a beach I had never been to before. El Capitan State Beach is located in the northern part of Santa Barbara County, about twenty five minutes past UCSB. This beach was quite marvelous as it was provided an amazing opportunity to interact with […]
On Sunday, April 14th, 2019 I hopped into my car and headed towards Oxnard Beach Park. I had heard a week prior that Oxnard would be holding its First Annual Native American Peoples Inter tribal Pow Wow. As someone who enjoys learning about other cultures, I became extremely excited that this gathering was open to […]

For this blog post I ventured out a bit further than before and found myself on a beach known as Thornhill Broome beach. This beach is located in beautiful Malibu California. Upon entering the beach one of the things you notice is that there is a booth you have to go through in order to actually […]
On Saturday, May 4th, I went to Harbor Cove with the lens of recreation. I chose this beach by coincidence, honestly. I was visiting the Channel Islands Visitors Center for a field trip in a different class, and when I left I saw an event going on at the beach nearby and I decided to […]
I went on a class field trip with my Natural History and Resource Management of the Channel Islands class to Santa Cruz Island. We went for a day trip to learn about the islands immense cultural and natural history and to observe its presence on the island and how that information is relied onto tourists. […]
For my analysis on this beach, I wanted to choose a lens that I have not used, and also one that I have little experience in. For the Little Sycamore Canyon Beach, I chose to write with a sociological imagination. The way sociology is set up is to see how individuals interact with their […]
