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.

Cool Destinations wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Cool Destinations over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
