Located just north of Santa Barbara, Goleta is perfect for an affordable beachside escape complete with hiking and biking, a gorgeous coastline, and dining at distinctive cafes like the Goodland Kitchen. Golfers will find a number of beautiful courses, also just footsteps from the ocean. For wine enthusiasts, Goleta serves as a gateway to the Santa Ynez Valley wine country, only 30 minutes away. Every year from mid-November to midFebruary, thousands of orange and black monarch butterflies migrate to the Goleta Butterfly Grove, located within the Sperling Nature Preserve. Visitors to Fairview Gardens, a nonprofit urban farm with organic food and educational events, can enjoy tours to see where and how food is grown and then make purchases from the produce stand. Seasonal educational tours are also available at neighboring farm, Goodland Organics - the only coffee farm found in the U.S. Goleta is known for its long fishing pier, sunbathing beaches, and the paved trail system within 29-acre Goleta Beach Park, which bicyclists have made a destination of its own. And, the University of California at Santa Barbara is conveniently located right next door. Whether you are looking for golf, biking, butterfly watching, drive-ins, picnics, or the beach, Goleta has it all. Plan your trip at GoGoleta.com, the one-stop online portal for all things Goleta.
