Point Conception, Coastal headland in Santa Barbara County, United States.

Point Conception is a headland on the Gaviota Coast in southwestern Santa Barbara County, where the Santa Barbara Channel meets the Pacific Ocean. Its tip holds Point Conception Light, a white cylindrical tower with a dark lantern room, attached to a small white building with a red gabled roof, standing on a flat grassy terrace above banded grey and tan cliffs. A low wooden structure sits on the grass nearby.

Spanish explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo first named the headland Cabo de Galera in 1542, and Sebastián Vizcaíno renamed it Punta de la Limpia Concepción in 1602. Both names reflect the importance that early European navigators assigned to this geographic landmark.

The Chumash people call this place Humqaq, meaning The Raven Comes, and view it as a sacred passage where souls transition to their afterlife. The location held deep spiritual meaning for the local indigenous community as a threshold between worlds.

The tip of the headland and the lighthouse are not open to the public; the surrounding land lies within the Jack and Laura Dangermond Preserve, which is not freely accessible. The headland can be viewed from a distance, and Highway 1 passes nearby along the Gaviota Coast.

Point Conception Light still stands at the tip of the headland, a white cylindrical tower with a dark lantern room, attached to a small white building with a red gabled roof. The Chumash know the headland as Humqaq, "The Raven Comes", and as the Western Gate through which souls passed to the paradise of Similaqsa. In 1978 Chumash and other Native Americans occupied the area to oppose a liquefied natural gas development.
