Visit Santa Barbara
Welcome to beautiful Santa Barbara, California -- a great place to visit! Quietly nestled between the ocean & the mountains, Santa Barbara represents the essence California -- the art & culture of the big city & the heart & hospitality of a small, coastal town. Between the shopping on State Street, some of the best restaurants in the country, & the best that the hotel industry has to offer, Santa Barbara is truly a magnificent place to live or visit!
Santa Barbara Attractions
Basking in a lush, year-round Mediterranean climate with 100 miles of prime Pacific coastline, a thriving arts community, historic architecture and scenic wine country, Santa Barbara instills all the components of a world-class destination - without the masses.
Touring the vineyards of Santa Barbara Wine Country is always a tasty sojourn. Some 42 wineries dot the inland region with 12,000 acres of planted vines. Tasting rooms and tours are available throughout the area, as well as first-class restaurants and gourmet delicatessens to pack up a picnic.
A visit to one of Santa Barbara's nine beaches is a must. Choose from the beautiful Butterfly Beach, set smack along the bikepath in front of the Four Seasons Biltmore, to the surf-ripe Leadbetter Beach.
Bordering the beach is Chase Palm Park on Cabrillo Blvd., a 10-acre playland that is a perfect steam valve for kids with its beautifully-restored Antique Carousel, Shipwreck Playground, complete with a turn-of-the-century schooner, and meandering faux riverbeds for splashing up a storm. A three-mile paved bikepath spans the waterfront.
Santa Barbara Harbor offers direct service to The Channel Islands. Of the five islands, Santa Cruz Island, California's largest, makes for a great day trip and the Nature Conservancy offers tours of this ecological preserve called Channel Islands National Park. The islands offer camping, hiking, kayaking, tidepooling and exploring the many rare plant and animal species, ancient pygmy sites and gentle coastal waters.
With the nearby Santa Ynez Mountains just minutes away, hikers and bikers share a number of well-marked trails that begin a few miles from downtown.
Golf is big in Santa Barbara especially with the 1998 addition of two new courses. Rancho San Marcos, a Robert Trent Jones II course perched atop scenic Highway 154, offers 72-par championship play, a clubhouse and luxury surroundings. Glen Annie Golf Club in Goleta adds 130 acres of prime green with commanding views of the Pacific. Other area courses include the top-rated La Purisima Golf Course in Lompoc and Sandpiper, which is consistently rated among the top 25 public courses in the country (Golf Digest).

Things to Do
All-Season Fun-----Santa Barbara offers escape and relaxation, along with opportunities to contemplate the ocean, mountains, and engaging vistas, and to explore a bit of history and humankind’s relationship to coastal ecology. The area offers a multitude of activities for active and passive vacationers: everything from swimming, boating, hiking, and sports fishing to the more exotic jet skiing, kayaking, whale-watching, windsurfing, horseback riding, and more.
Or you can select your beach lounge chair, watch the scenery, and relax Santa Barbara-style. Santa Barbara enjoys a pleasant Mediterranean climate that is generally mild and sunny all 12 months of the year, with relatively stable temperatures; there is no real “off-season.”
A Perfect Day in Santa Barbara
Start your day with breakfast at one of the restaurants on the beach or at Stearns Wharf, overlooking the ocean. Visit the Sea Center, then rent a bike or rollerblades or just take a stroll along the waterfront. You can visit the zoo or stop in at the historic Biltmore (now the Four Seasons Biltmore). Walk or take the trolley along State Street, browsing the shops, restaurants, and historic buildings at the Santa Barbara Historical Museum, El Presidio de Santa Barbara State Historic Park, and the Courthouse.
After lunch, visit the natural history museum and the Old Mission, then travel on up to the Botanical Garden. Return to Stearns Wharf in time for sunset, then spend the evening dining, enjoying live music, or taking another stroll along the beach in the beautiful night air.
