Gaviota means “seagull” in Spanish, and Portolá’s expedition gave the place its name in 1769 after one of his soldiers shot one for dinner — the moment was unusual enough that the diary kept it. The town that grew up around the name is barely a town now: a state park, a tiny store, the long-closed Gaviota Pier, and the Highway 101 squeeze through the Santa Ynez Mountains. JW Enterprises provides clean, reliable porta potties, portable restrooms, and handwashing stations for the long Highway 101 and Union Pacific corridor projects, the Gaviota State Park trail-crew weekends, and the rare beach-area weddings tucked under the cliffs. 75-plus years on the California coast.
