Landslide Photo Collections

La Conchita is a small seaside community along Highway 101 south of Santa Barbara. This landslide and debris flow occurred in the spring of 1995. Many people were evacuated because of the slide and the houses nearest the slide were completely destroyed. This area also experienced debris flows which damaged a banana plantation. No one was killed or injured.
