Goleta: Your Next
Adventure Begins
There are the great outdoors, and then there are the truly great
outdoors. Goleta falls into the latter category with endless
outdoor opportunities, all easily accessible. Cyclists have long
been coming to Goleta to ride the smooth shoulders, beautiful,
winding roads, and iconic Gibraltar Pass. In fact, the area has
hosted stages of the United States' Tour de France counterpart,
the Tour of California, attracting the best cyclists in the world.
Perhaps people enjoy riding here so much because they
know that a dip in the wild blue Pacific is a sure end to the
perfect adventure. Goleta's beaches are clean, and equal
parts accessible and rugged, where sandy beaches often meet
sensational rock cliffs, and many offer some of the best surf
breaks along the Western seaboard. Campus Point is known to
attract surfers, stand-up paddle boarders, and boogie borders
directly from class at the University of California Santa Barbara.
The unmatched weather is in large part why getting outside
is so easy to do here. Over 300 days of sunshine every year
means that the days are long, warm, and inviting. Miles and
miles of ocean-side trails invite wanderers to go for everything
from a short fresh-air stroll to a satisfyingly long day hike.
And here's something not everyone thinks of when they're
planning their trip to coastal California: set up camp! Goleta
offers some remarkable places to pitch a tent, providing you
with true toes-in-the-sand beachfront views. Step out of your
home away from home and take an early morning swim before
getting in a round of disc golf or playing some beach volleyball.
Whatever it is you love to do outside, Goleta can most certainly
accommodate. Fill your days with sea kayaking, swimming,
surfing, cycling, hiking, and much more, because this is the
type of playground that defines endless opportunity.

FROM CLASS TO COASTLINE. University California

Santa Barbara is known as one of the most beautiful
campuses in the country, and for good reason. Students
can wander right out their classroom doors and into
the breaks at Campus Point-a well-known surf and
boogie board spot for amateurs and experts alike.
