Discover Guadalupe
Guadalupe is located in Santa Barbara County, on the Central California coast near the famous Guadalupe-Nipomo Dunes. As of the census of 2010, there were 7,080 people residing in the city. The city was established in 1840 and incorporated on August 3, 1946. California’s Pacific Coast Highway, California Highway 1, runs right through the downtown of Guadalupe. Guadalupe is an attractive home for families, providing safe and affordable neighborhoods, excellent restaurants, good schools, and a friendly environment.
a cinematic destination
Guadalupe has been on Hollywood's map since 1923 when legendary director Cecil B. DeMille filmed the cinematic epic The Ten Commandments. Since then, over 20 movies have been filmed in and around the historic town of Guadalupe and it's incredible sand dune landscape. If you're looking for a location for your next project, come take a look at Guadalupe and see how this charming little gem on California's central coast can add that missing "something" to your motion picture or documentary production.
SUPPORTING LOCAL BUSINESS MATTERS!
According to the Small Business Administration:
For every $100 spent at small businesses, $48 is put back into the local economy.
But if that same $100 is spent at big box store or national retailer, only $14 makes it back to our local economy.

Periodically, the Guadalupe Business Association will feature one of our members in our business spotlight. Take a moment and learn about some of our amazing members!

We are a family-owned Mexican restaurant. It all started in 1988 with my father Manuel Diaz deciding on leaving farm working in the past and starting his adventure as a business owner. In 2010 my father asked if I was ready to take over and I now run the business and love every second of it. My wife and I really enjoy feeding the community!
We really appreciate everyone and everything all of our customers do for us. Every day is a great day and we are glad to be a part of this community!

Information in English
The (re)ascension of a Small American Town
Founded in the late 1800s, Guadalupe was once a boom town. Over the following century, like many small towns, social, economic and infrastructure changes heavily impacted the city and other, larger cities grew around it. Yet Guadalupe’s story is far from over. With a new housing development and influx of new ideas, Guadalupe is poised to reassert itself as a destination location for shopping, arts, and tourism – the Gateway to the Dunes!
