Being in our backyard, naturally Hot Springs Trail has become my favorite trail in town. I love to go with friends or by myself for some fresh air and alone time. My parents would take me here as a kid and in more recent years, my husband proposed to me at the top of this trail. It’s a special place to say the least!  Gaviota Park Boundary Road Miramar Beach (photo below left) After living within walking distance to Miramar Beach, it has become my favorite. It’s usually the least crowded beach in Santa Barbara which I love.  Shoreline Park Another favorite place of mine to take a walk is Shoreline Park. I walked here almost every day when I was pregnant. Now that my daughter is here I continue to take her walking there and look forward to her romping around the playground overlooking the ocean as I did when I was a kid.  Shoreline Drive 805.564.5418 84 PEACHYTHEMAGAZINE.COM Nancy Hamilton Nancy Hamilton was raised in the Mississippi Delta and moved to Santa Barbara in 1986 after graduating from college in Virginia.
