<p>Go here and click on the link for housing map. You will be able to which is closer to ocean. Also, click on the park map link. There are two maps there and one of them (the colored one on the left) will show you where there is coastal access. Isla Vista is on a plateau separated from the ocean by a 30 ft bluff and so you can't walk down the beach from just any location.</p>

<p>does anyone know how far francisco torres is from the beach? it isn't on the map.</p>

<p>Closest to the beach, cleanest, and best study area: Manzanita.</p>
