01In town
Lompoc
La Purísima Mission State Historic Park, murals across downtown, and the flower fields the valley is known for. Close, easy and worth an afternoon.
06Explore
Work here. Explore from here.
Lompoc sits between wine country and the Pacific, with Solvang over the hill and rockets over the horizon. However long you're here, there's more than a day's worth nearby.
02Wine country
The Wine Ghetto & Sta. Rita Hills
Start with the tasting rooms of the Lompoc Wine Ghetto, set in a working industrial park, then head into the Sta. Rita Hills for the vineyards themselves.
03Over the hill
Solvang & the Santa Ynez Valley
Danish village streets, bakeries and valley wineries, east along Highway 246. An easy day trip, and an easy drive back.
04The coast
Highway 1, Jalama & Surf Beach
Jalama Beach County Park, Surf Beach at the far end of Ocean Avenue, and the quiet stretches of Highway 1 that make the Central Coast worth the drive.
05Look up
