Most drilling there is done from fixed platforms that have been there for years. At the site you can click on the black dots and a box will appear telling the name of the platform. The 3 mile wide strip along the shore with no blocks drawn is state water. cccarto.com

I have driven the 101 lots of times between LA and Santa Barbara and never have seen a rig. BTW the major tourist spot in that part of the coastline is Santa Barbara and you will note that there are no rigs close to shore along its portion. You probably never noticed the Channel Islands either. (It's often foggy in Santa Barbara.) Platform A, site of the 1969 oil spill, was right along your drive. Here's a picture of that oil rig taken from the shore, with one of the islands in the background: en.wikipedia.org
