New Cuyama

About New Cuyama

Nestled in the remote Cuyama Valley at the intersection of Santa Barbara, Ventura, and Kern counties, New Cuyama offers authentic small-town charm amid stunning high desert landscapes. This former oil company town serves as a gateway to the Carrizo Plain National Monument and provides excellent opportunities for stargazing, hiking, and experiencing California's agricultural heritage. The surrounding valley's wide-open spaces and dramatic mountain backdrops create an ideal escape from coastal crowds.
