This historical town is known for it's beautiful and unique architecture, reminiscent of the 18th and 19th century Spanish missions. The natural beauty of the area is the perfect backdrop for activities such as sunning and swimming, surfing, volleyball and exploring tide pools. Santa Barbara also offers world class golf and tennis, horseback riding, polo, and biking. The Waterfront in the heart of Santa Barbara has three beaches, several world class restaurants, a harbor and a skate park. And, shopping in Santa Barbara's "paseos" (meaning "pathway") is an extraordinary experience! You stroll among the cobblestone paths and arcades filled with bubbling fountains, lush palms and flowers, and explore the arts and antiques, local wine shops, boutiques and gift shops. Of historical interest, there is the Santa Barbara Mission, the El Presidio State Historical Park, The Museum of Natural History, and Stow House & Maritime Museum. Another must see attraction in Santa Barbara is The Zoological Gardens that has over 600 animals, picnic areas and lots of open space, a great place to visit for the whole family. For accommodations in Santa Barbara, you will find everything from long term rentals, beachside hotels, rustic cottages, bed and breakfasts and luxury inns.
