Historic Route. From the Ventura County line to the northern part of Vandenberg Air Force Base, the historic route closely follows the coast. In north Vandenberg, the route shifts inland to cross the Santa Maria River near the town of Guadalupe. The river is the boundary between Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties.

Recreational Trail
The proposed Coastal Trail, shown on county trail plans, serves three purposes: "provide recreation for the hiker, bicyclist, and equestrian, [provide] an alternative mode of transportation to coastal recreation areas," and "provide a means of public access to scenic and remote coastal areas." (Santa Barbara County Coastal Plan [LCP] 1980) The segment of the trail from Goleta to Gaviota would provide for a multiuse trail, while the section from Gaviota to Jalama Beach would provide hiking trail access. Parts of this trail have been implemented and others will be implemented as development occurs or as funding is available. The Coastal Trail could be marked as the Anza Trail. The NPS will encourage agreements with interested landowners to mark the trail and to provide public access through permits, docent tours, or other means. An existing bikeway from Ventura connects with a system of bikeways in the City of Santa Barbara, which in turn, connects to existing designated segments of the Pacific Coast Bike Route north through the county. All of these bikeways are within the historic corridor. Highway 1 is a designated bikeway. Auto Route (marked)
