Santa Barbara sits on a rare south-facing stretch of the California coast, between the Pacific and the steep Santa Ynez Mountains. After an earthquake in 1925, the city rebuilt in a cohesive Spanish Colonial Revival style, and its white stucco walls and red tile roofs remain its signature. UC Santa Barbara in neighboring Goleta supports a research and technology community, while tourism, wine, real estate and the estates of Montecito, home to many well-known names, shape the local economy.
The drive from Los Angeles on U.S. 101 can take two to three hours through Ventura County, and the highway is the main route in and out, so a private flight saves real time. Santa Barbara Municipal Airport is in Goleta, about 15 minutes from downtown. Once there, you can spend a morning at the Mission, an afternoon in the Funk Zone’s tasting rooms and an evening on State Street, then head over the mountains to the Santa Ynez Valley wineries or out to sea toward the Channel Islands.

Things to do in Santa Barbara
When to go. Santa Barbara’s mild climate makes it a year-round destination, though May and June often begin under a gray marine layer. Late summer and fall bring the warmest, clearest days. Fiesta, also called Old Spanish Days, fills the streets in early August, and the Santa Barbara International Film Festival draws stars and filmgoers in February. Winter brings most of the year’s rain and is the quietest season for hotels.
