The 76-mile Gaviota Coast is located in Santa Barbara
County beginning 120 miles northwest of Los Angeles, and encompasses many of
the coastal watersheds of the Santa Ynez Mountains. The Coast is well known
for its remote beaches, rural landscapes, and expansive ocean, island and
mountain views. The Santa Ynez mountains form a steep
mountain wall along the south coast of California that runs from east to west.
There are only three routes out of Santa Barbara to the north that cross these
mountains: Gaviota Pass, Refugio Pass, and San Marcos Pass.
This section of the coast was first called "gaviota"
(seagull) by soldiers of the Portola Expedition in 1769.
The park is a popular spot for swimming, picnicking and surf fishing. A pier
on the west end of the beach is used by divers and surfers. A Southern Pacific
railroad trestle crosses the creek above the day-use parking lot. Visitors can
explore the upland portions of the park from a trailhead in the parking area.
Gaviota Peak offers a view of the coast and the Channel Islands.
