The premier beachfront address in Montecito is Fernald Point Lane, where many of the beach homes occupy multiple acres of mature trees and lush vegetation. Fernald Point Lane is mostly a public road, but beyond the "Point" the coastline creates a serene easterly facing cove, and the road to homes on the cove is private and gated.

The Fernald Point Lane beach is sometimes rocky, but given the beauty of the landscape, it is still a pleasure to stroll along. The beach is a continuation of Miramar Beach, which is very accessible to the public. The very deep lots afford Fernald Point homeowners privacy from the beachgoing public, as many of the homes are set significantly back from the beach, giving them a certain elegance and stateliness lacking on other beaches.

Fernald Point Lane is in the extremely desirable Montecito Union School District. The shopping and dining of both the Montecito Upper Village and Coast Village Road are only about a mile away, making Fernald Point Lane one of the most convenient beaches upon which to live.
