A piece of private coastline in Santa Barbara County will soon be open to the public thanks to the California Coastal Commission. The private property, once known as Bixby Ranch, was unanimously approved to go public.
According to Sunset, “the land, which is about 150 miles north of Los Angeles, at the south end of the Vandenberg Air Force Base, also comes with a mile-long stretch of beach that has been closed to the public for more than 100 years.”
“’You’re getting over a mile of additional coastline [in] one of the richest and most diverse areas in California,’” Susan Jordan, executive director of the California Coastal Protection Network in Santa Barbara, told reporters.
We know it’s December, but too soon to plan a road trip?
