We were there on a Saturday night. Very busy in the CBD.
We were there on a Saturday night. Very busy in the CBD. Difficult to get a parking space. Difficult to get a table at a restaurant- had to wait. Lots of homeless people along the beach front, so didn’t feel safe to walk to town at night. Lovely location between the mountains and the sea. Would have liked a little more time to check out the shops and the beach during the day.KirstyAustralia - Scored 1010
Santa Barbara is one of the most charming cities in...
Santa Barbara is one of the most charming cities in California that I've been to. When here, make sure you check out the Farmers Market. They just recently moved it, as of end of September. Make sure you ask the locals. If you are a wine drinker, make sure to get over to Los Olivos, which is only a 40 minute drive over the mountains. Make sure to check out Solvang too. Don't leave Santa Barbara without going whale watching. Be sure to check the schedules to confirm whale watching season. If you are an architecture buff, your going to love all the spanish style homes and buildings in the area.WandaUnited States of America - Scored 1010
Santa Barbara is one of my favorite cities in California.
Santa Barbara is one of my favorite cities in California. It has a nice area for restaurants, bars, and shopping or just sightseeing. The pier is within walking distance as are the beaches. Very upscale but also very comfortable.

A very beautiful Spanish Colonial city. Also very expensive.
A very beautiful Spanish Colonial city. Also very expensive. I would recommend it for a honeymoon or couples. It is called the Riviera of America because of its beauty. Mountains, beaches, and hillside estates. The weather is generally good all year round. Montecito is where the Uber wealthy live. You cannot see the estates, and the beaches are private. If you like a good steakhouse, try Lucky’s in Montecito. The atmosphere and food are great. Also, a pleasant shopping surprise is the sweet village of Summerland, a 10 minute drive from Santa Barbara.

The beaches in Santa Barbara were Beautiful, the area felt safe, there was a variety of attractions to do, and see, you never got bored. There were various Restaurants to choose from, a lot on State Street. Everything was close and covenient, except parking, parking on streets, always seemed to be full. Had to use Parking Garages, which add up after a while. As for Shopping, State Street had many shops, and even shops on the side streets.

I’m biased. I lived in the area most of my life.
I’m biased. I lived in the area most of my life. I don’t like it now. State street is a tourist wasteland. There isn’t an by decent coffee. Wine tasting rooms are all there is, and the beach. It used to feel like a lot less concrete. Now it’s hard to escape. I now only visit for the food that has managed to survive: Rusty’s Pizza, The Habit, some taco places (the batting cages place is awesome),…The food was the best in the world, imo. Insane value. Not anymore.
