Forget the usual beach town clichés – Goleta delivers coastal California without the crowds. At Goleta Beach Park, locals fish from the pier while students relax on golden sand. The monarch butterfly groves at Ellwood Mesa transform eucalyptus trees into living tapestries when thousands gather. University energy flows from UC Santa Barbara into Isla Vista's buzzing streets. Zodo's offers bowling with craft beers – a California twist. Nature lovers will appreciate El Capitan State Beach's dramatic cliffs and tide pools. For a perfect afternoon, grab local tacos and head to Refugio State Beach, where dolphins often appear. The Santa Ynez Valley wine country awaits just over the hills.

This highway exit is only accessible for southbound traffic. There are no specific parking spots; the whole Vista Point paved area is a safe place to pull over with room for dozens of cars. There is a grand view of the Pacific coast between Gaviota and Santa Barbara, and a view of Santa Rosa Island in the distance. A steep, unofficial path leads down from one end of the Vista Point exit. #California #roadtrip #lifeatexpedia #weloveourmarkets #AMER
