Point Conception (Chumash: ''Humqaq'') is a headland along the Pacific coast of the U.S. state of California, located in southwestern Santa Barbara County. It is the point where the Santa Barbara Channel meets the Pacific Ocean, and as the corner between the mostly north-south trending portion of coast to the north and the east-west trending part of the coast near Santa Barbara, it makes a natural division between Southern and Central California,〔(Characteristic patterns of shelf circulation at the boundary between central and southern California )〕 and is commonly used as such in regional weather forecasts.〔( NWS Coastal Waters Forecast ), accessed 3/18/2013.〕 The Point Conception Lighthouse is at its tip. ==Toponymy== Point Conception was first noted by Spanish maritime explorer Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo in 1542 and named ''Cabo de Galera''. In 1602, Sebastian Vizcaíno sailed past again, renaming the protruding headland ''Punta de la Limpia Concepción'' ("Point of the Immaculate Conception"). Vizcaíno's name stuck, and was later anglicized to today's version.
