The Santa Ynez Mountains define the setting of Serena Park — their south-facing foothills place this small California locality between the range and the Pacific shore of the Santa Barbara Channel. Unlike much of California’s coast, this shoreline runs broadly east to west, with the Channel Islands lying offshore. Serena Park belongs to Santa Barbara County’s South Coast, where steep slopes descend toward a settled coastal plain. The channel coast is part of the ancestral homeland of the Chumash, whose maritime culture is fundamental to the region’s history.
