Pier????? I don't remember a Goleta pier.
The only pier I remember was Stern's Warf, which always burned down on a regular basis. Every year.
I do, however, remember the nude beach to the immediate north of Coal Oil Point. Wonderful scenery there. 8)
Goleta pier is by Isle Vista aka UCSB, and south of that is the nude beach. Not sure if they go nude anymore there. Been 20+ years since I was there
