From land to sea, Santa Barbara is a small town packed with a lot to do, but don’t be in a hurry. You’re on vacation so slip on your flip flops and embrace the laid-back beach vibes. Immerse yourself in local history, take in a concert or art show, rent a kayak at the harbor, visit a nearby town or vineyard, or picnic in one of the many beautiful parks. Below is a summary of the area’s attractions to spark some ideas.
