Larco’s Dip, Santa Barbara
From Islapedia
Larco’s Dip, Santa Barbara was named for the well known local fishing family. In the early days, fishing boats often lacked compasses, and when it was clear weather they would set their course from the islands to a cut in the mountain ranges over on the coast behind Santa Barbara which the fishermen called the saddle back or Larco’s dip. [Eaton 1980: 51].
