SUMMERLAND

Summerland.  The name says it all and it also has it's own TV series! A small community of about 1,500 hugs the coastline and is a favorite for weekenders, antique seekers and those that like the outdoors. This funky town enjoys great beaches, easy access to the freeway and a lovely park right on the cliffs.  Summerland's main street, Lillie, features a few restaurants, a lovely wine tasting room, antique dealers galore, a gas station and not one stop light.  If you end up here, you may never want to leave... or at least that's what happened to me.  It has some flavor, some funk, beautiful beaches and secret hiking/equestrian trials.
