The city of Goleta rests a few minutes north of Santa Barbara in the South Coast region of Santa Barbara County, roughly 330 miles south of San Francisco and 90 miles north of Los Angeles. Goleta and the Gaviota Coast to the north make up 12 picturesque miles of the Santa Barbara coastline. In fact the area is known as The Good Land for its sprawling ranches, fertile farms, lemon orchards and sustainable gardens that supply local restaurants and farmers markets year round. From the Goleta pier to Point Arguello, the area is a recreational paradise. Whether fishing off the pier, hiking the bluffs, surfing Campus Point or getting up close and personal with wildlife while kayaking in the Goleta Slough, there is something for everyone.
