Montecito, CA
Miramar
Miramar occupies Montecito's flattest, most sea-level ground, on the seaward side of Highway 101 within the 93108 ZIP of unincorporated Santa Barbara County. The pocket sits between Hammond's Beach on one side and Fernald Point on the other, with the Rosewood Miramar Beach resort as its dominant landmark. An active Union Pacific line, shared by Amtrak passenger service and freight, passes through this section of coast and crosses the marked footpaths that lead down to the water. The resort itself spans 16 acres, addressed at 1759 South Jameson Lane, and took the Rosewood name when it reopened on March 1, 2019 — a date confirmed both by the operator's own release and by independent trade-press coverage of the same event. The resort's own current tally puts the property at 158 rooms and suites, made up of 35 suites and 26 beachfront Beach House units with direct sand access — a hospitality-rating publication's listing lines up with that same total. County supervisors closed out a multi-year review in December 2024, clearing 26 affordable and workforce apartments, 8 market-rate units, and close to 17,500 square feet of new retail across two resort-adjacent lots; no construction timeline has surfaced since. Walkers can follow the sand west to Hammond's Beach and on to Butterfly Beach when the tide allows, though a rising tide can close that route at the seawalls. Cold Spring School District's foothill boundary does not reach this coastal stretch; Montecito Union School, the only campus in its own district, sits nearby at 385 San Ysidro Road.
