Santa Barbara
Santa Barbara has a lot to offer. Its beach vibe, palm trees and melding of mountains and ocean make it special. Less than a two-hour drive out of L.A., it also includes boutique shopping, upmarket restaurants, and bars on State Street, and stunning sunsets. Downtown SB is highlighted by Mediterranean-like bright white stucco buildings complete with red-tile roofs which are symbolic of the spot’s Spanish colonial heritage. Don’t miss the popular Old Mission Santa Barbara either.
