Nestled in the southern region of Santa Barbara County, California, just eight miles west of Santa Barbara, lies the vibrant community of Goleta. With its idyllic location, you're never far from the shimmering waters of the Pacific Ocean, where you can paddleboard, surf, and even get up close with dolphins and sea lions. For those who prefer to explore on land, the surrounding mountains offer a range of hiking trails, while the Pacific Coast Route is a popular choice for casual bike rides. As the sun sets, catch a movie at the West Wind Drive-In Theater, hit the bowling lanes at Zodo's, or lace up your skates and glide across the rink at Ice in Paradise. Whatever your interests, Goleta offers endless opportunities for fun and adventure.
