If you like out of the way, hidden little gem, motorcycle rides with a real treat at the end, this ride is for you. Great little stretch of road meanders through some great hills. Then at the end, dumps you off smack dab on the edge of a wide open, unblemished stretch of Pacific Coast and a cute little beach community to boot!!

Did this ride in the summer of 2012. Its everything the author says. Really loved the low vehicle traffic, the changing terrain, and the cute little beach villa at the end!

VERY POOR road quality..only a few smooth areas but overall horrible uneven, very bumpy, patchy pavement. A wreck waiting to happen if you even think about getting a knee down on this road. Consider yourself warned. If you're up in SLO, Lompoc, SM, better to just ride down to the 150/33 if you want decent cornering pavement. Don't know how this got 4 stars for road quality unless it was ok like 5 yrs ago. For year 2017, forget about it unless you just want to putt putt to the very scenic beach... Jalama Park is beautiful though.

This was a super fun road, the sense of being out of the way, and to arrive at a really beautiful camp spot was great! Grateful for the original post.

On Thu mornings the Old Farts Motorcycle Club gathers at Goleta Coffee to decide where to ride that day. We've done Jalama at least three times in the last couple years. A very fun bunch of twisties here. As of Jun 2020 much of the road was in decent shape except a couple miles just before you get over the last hump to see the Pacific.

Jalama Road is in my old stomping grounds and a place I would take any out-of-towner for a great ride experience in the Lompoc (pronounced "Lom-Poke") area. Have a Jalama Burger when you reach the beach and smile knowing you get to ride this great route in reverse to move along in your day!....for an extra bit of fun, when you return to highway 1, turn north and look for Santa Rosa Road.....and take it too!
