Just a dozen miles north of Santa Cruz is the hidden gem Davenport, California. It’s an incredible coastal city with jaw-dropping beaches and small-town vibes.

Just 50 miles North of Santa Barbara is Figueroa Mountain in Santa Ynez which is currently blooming with Poppies and Wild Lupine– about an hour and a half drive from Santa Barbara.
