Deriving its name from the Spanish term for seagull, Gaviota State Park is a stretch of wilderness that is quite a popular spot for tourists. Fun activities ranging from picnicking and surf fishing to scuba diving and hiking can be enjoyed here. The park is also home to a diverse variety of flora and fauna, with prairie, riparian, and chaparral habitats defining its ecological landscape. Adventurous tourists also hike up to the Gaviota Peak, from which spectacular vistas of the surrounding wilderness, Channel Islands, and the coastline can be admired.
