Ever had the urge to get away from it all in a place that’s not too far from urban life? Lompoc just might be your spot.
By the way, it’s not pronounced “Lom-pock” (as in pocket ), which W.C. Fields called it in his radio shows and the 1940 movie “The Bank Dick.” Lompocals have always called it “Lom-poke.”
Situated among low rolling hills on state Route 246 about 10 miles from the coast, and an hour or so each way to Santa Barbara or San Luis Obispo via Highway 101, the town of 60,000 has only about five hotels. You can relax in your room or make it home base for visits to historic La Purisima Mission, miles of hiking and biking trails, golfing, motorsports, and horseback riding areas, most for little or no cost.
