Arroyo Burro Beach, widely known as Hendry's Beach by local residents, is located off of Cliff Drive in Santa Barbara, California. It is the terminus of Arroyo Burro Creek, and stands at the foot of the Santa Barbara coastal bluffs of the Douglas Family Preserve.

Arroyo Burro has a reputation as a "dog beach", and is a popular location for dog owners to walk their pets off leash. Surfers also frequent the beach's waters, and outdoor showers facilitate the sport. The beach's other recreational features include a grassy area with picnic tables and barbecue grills, a restaurant and snack bar with outdoor and indoor seating. The park officially closes at sunset, at which time entrance to the (free) parking lot is prohibited. However, vehicles parked before sunset can remain into the evening hours.

A very popular (although slightly pricey) restuarant 'The Brown Pelican' is also situated overlooking the beach.
