Gaviota Rest Area Goleta, CA

The view is scenic and beautiful all around. A few picnic tables make for a relaxing lunch before getting back in the car. The restrooms are clean. When we were there a huge cluster of wasps had a nest close to a tree situated right next to the parking. We just walked around it and thankfully the wasps did not seem to care about the close proximity of people to their nest. So nobody got chased down by the wasps thank God.

This is our favorite place to stop along the journey from point A to point B and back again.
