Balmy weather and the warm and gentle waters of the Santa Barbara coast invite comparisons to the Riviera. In this enchanting locale explore, with the help of enthusiastic local guides, the largest stretch of undeveloped coastline in Southern California.
The distinctive orientation of this coast creates a bioregion that supported the Chumash culture for 13,000 years. We’ll hike the Guadalupe Dunes, one of the most ecologically significant dune areas in America.
With Mike Lunsford, president of the Gaviota Coast Conservancy, we’ll walk the private coves of the remote Gaviota Coast and learn about the efforts to conserve it. Enjoy the ambiance of the picturesque Santa Barbara waterfront, and sail offshore to Channel Islands National Park where we’ll explore Santa Cruz Island and its unique terrestrial and marine communities, spectacular mountains, pristine tidepools and expansive beaches.
