Visit Santa Barbara and experience the essence
of the Californian lifestyle. Here, the
southern and northern regions of the state come
together to combine the art and culture of a big
city with the beauty and hospitality of a small
beach town. There is plenty to do and experience
during your stay in Santa Barbara, where some
of the best shopping, beaches, restaurants, and
resorts abound.
Wine lovers must be sure to take a tour of Santa
Barbara Wine Country vineyards while enjoying
fine wines from the 40+ wineries throughout the
region. Check out the annual Vintners’
Festival, April 20th and 21st.
For sunshine and beach lovers, Santa Barbara
is the place to come to experience any type of
ocean sport from kayaking to scuba diving, sailing,
parasailing, whale watching- you name it.
Santa Barbara offers a wide variety of sail boat
rentals from large to small, for the experienced
sailor and the not so experienced sailor as well.
Choose from many beaches along the coast, some
ideal for surfing, swimming or just relaxing in
the sun.
For the Scholars and History buffs Santa Barbara
offers tours of the local Mission (-also referred
to as the Queen of Missions), which displays the
historical architecture Santa Barbara is so famous
for, or perhaps a visit to the University of California
Santa Barbara (UCSB) is in order.
A favorite attraction drawing tourists to this
beautiful city is the direct service to The Channel
Islands. Day trips to the islands may consist
of hiking, camping, kayaking, tide pooling and
while exploring many plant and animal species
unique to the area.
The sport of golf is rapidly becoming more popular
as more courses with beautiful surroundings and
ocean views have recently been constructed.
