Gaviota State Park is a California Park located on the coast in Goleta, north of Santa Barbara. Ocean front bluffs at the park have been extensively researched for their unique display of geological history. Several preserved fossils remain in the rocks, including the complete skeleton of an ancient fish, similar to a Halibut. Park features include hiking trails, picnic areas, RV access and campsites. The coastal park is popular for swimming, fishing, diving or snorkeling and surfing. A camp store and restrooms with showers are available. The 3,000 acre park spans the area from the Pacific Coast to the highest ridge of the Santa Ynez Mountains.
