Rita Hills of California's Central Coast, Lompoc is a friendly, relaxing destination acclaimed for its breathtaking beauty, abundant outdoor murals, fully restored historic mission, and award-winning wines. With its mild Mediterranean climate, Lompoc Valley is ripe for adventure year-round golf, biking, hiking, surfing, and even sky diving!

The Lompoc Valley is part of the Central California region. Rolling hills surround the Valley in the north, south and east. The level Valley is open at its western end to the Pacific Coast Shoreline. The Pacific Ocean is only 9 miles from downtown Lompoc. The Santa Ynez River (dry most of the year) runs east to west through the Valley while Burton Mesa, a chaparral forest with sandy soil, lies to the north. The hills to the south are mined for diatomaceous (fossil) earth.
