Visit Santa Barbara California
Ninety some miles north
west of Los Angeles lies the lovely beach city of Santa Barbara,
California where you will find some of the cleanest and best tended
beaches on the west coast.
The city of Santa Barbara which includes Hope Ranch and Montecito has a
population of approximately 90,000 (not counting the students who reside
at UC Santa Barbara.) yet it hosts millions of visitors each year. The
residents of the city are, for the most part, friendly, courteous and
helpful, the city is clean and thanks to a well enforced anti graffiti
department, virtually free of graffiti. Crime rates are low and the police
are courteous and willing to assist you in whatever you need. Whether you
are a single traveler, traveling with a friend or spouse or taking the
whole family, Santa Barbara is a great destination.
There is something for everyone in or near Santa Barbara. Relax on the
beaches, enjoy the night life on State Street or in next door Isla Vista,
drive past multi million dollar homes in Montecito or Hope Ranch, take in
a symphony at the Arlington Theater, visit the Museum of Art, tour the
Mission, go to the Zoo or enjoy the Botanic Gardens or the Natural History
Museum, fish off Stearns Wharf, go sport fishing or whale watching, dine
at one of the numerous excellent restaurants (many with outside patio
dining), visit the outdoor Farmer's Market and buy organically grown
fruits, vegetables, flowers and plants, buy arts and crafts at the
sidewalk art show which is right along the beach, rent a bicycle or a
bicycle built for two and ride on the bike paths along the ocean, dine at
one of the seafood restaurants or at the open air fish market on Stearn's
Wharf or shop at the Paseo Nuevo Shopping Mall.
There are accommodations in every price range, from inexpensive motels to
bed and breakfasts to luxury hotels like the Four Seasons Biltmore and the
Bacara Resort and Spa.
If the foregoing is not enough, take a wine tasting tour of the boutique
wineries in the Santa Barbara wine region, go boating and fishing at Lake
Cachuma, visit and play poker, blackjack, bingo, keno or slot machines at
the Chumash Resort And Casino, visit Solvang "the Danish Capital of
America", go skydiving or take flying lessons at the Santa Inez Airport,
see the historic old west town of Santa Ynez, visit Pea Soup Andersen's in
Buellton or just take a long relaxing drive up the coast and enjoy the
fantastic weather while viewing the beautiful scenery.
