Location Summary
Located in Santa Barbara County, just north of the village of Goleta, the Gaviota Coast is a stretch of Pacific beachfront that runs East-West along an otherwise North-South coastline. The Gaviota area – which includes its coastal watersheds – is one of the largest, last remaining intact coastal Mediterranean ecosystems in California. More rural than most other Southern California coastal regions, the Gaviota Coast retains its incredible biodiversity, thanks in large part to the natural and agricultural landmasses that still dominate the area. Santa Barbara enjoys a Mediterranean climate – mild and sunny with average daytime temperatures between 60 and 80 degrees. Cool, crystal-clear nights are ideal for stargazing.
