Agriculture
 The
Gaviota Coast has a rich agricultural history. Since the pastoral
days of sprawling Spanish rancheros, agricultural products of
the Gaviota Coast have included cattle, wheat, beans, wine grapes,
fruits and nuts. The long growing season of the Mediterranean
climate, combined with the even coastal temperatures can produce
multiple citrus harvests each year. Today, the orchards
on the Gaviota Coast represent approximately 28% of the county's
total tree crop production. Unique crops such as macadamia
nuts, cherimoyas and abalone are also produced here.
