Welcome to Santa Barbara

Ninety miles north of Los Angeles, tucked between breathtaking Pacific beaches and the steep Santa Ynez Mountains to the east, Santa Barbara is one of California’s most beautiful cities. Set on the West Coast’s longest section of south-facing coastline, the area’s balmy Mediterranean climate gives the city its nickname: the American Riviera. The towering peaks in the Los Padres National Forest, the amazing Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary just 20 miles offshore, a historic Spanish Mission, upscale shopping and dining, wineries, and great outdoor activities including miles of hiking trails, surfing, sailing, and paddle sports are just the beginning in lovely Santa Barbara.
