Santa Maria Area Information
Santa Maria Valley is nestled in the foothills of
Santa Barbara County wine country. Located in the heart of California's Central Coast, here you will discover beautiful scenery,
championship golf courses,
national theater, bird watching,
pristine beaches, performing arts,
world famous barbecue, our succulent strawberries, hiking, festivals, family events, and
award winning wineries located along the
Foxen Canyon Wine Trail.
You will find that California's Central Coast is the perfect balance between urban and rural. The Central Coast is home to artists, celebrities, world-class resorts, an emerging wine region and even a castle, yet the atmosphere is relaxed and casual. As you make your way up scenic Highway One from Santa Barbara to Monterey, and everywhere in between, you will come across wildlife refuges, state parks and beautiful beaches. See the
Central Coast Tourism Council website for more details about the area.
