This highway exit is only accessible for southbound traffic. There are no specific parking spots; the whole Vista Point paved area is a safe place to pull over with room for dozens of cars. There is a grand view of the Pacific coast between Gaviota and Santa Barbara, and a view of Santa Rosa Island in the distance. A steep, unofficial path leads down from one end of the Vista Point exit. #California #roadtrip #lifeatexpedia #weloveourmarkets #AMER
