                                          The coastal gem of Santa Barbara is nestled between the beautiful Santa Ynez Mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean, in California.

                                          • Explore Stearns Wharf. No trip to Santa Barbara is complete without strolling down this iconic wooden pier, chowing down on fresh seafood and snapping selfies against the breathtaking ocean views.

                                          Insider tips for visiting Santa Barbara

                                          • Pack a sweater or two. Yes, Santa Barbara is blessed with (almost) year-round sunshine, but the mornings and evenings can get a little chilly, so bring a sweater so you can enjoy the sunrise or sunset without the brrr!
                                          • Snag some free wine. Some wineries in the Funk Zone offer complimentary wine tastings on specific days. Make sure you check out their websites or social media so you can sample some vino without breaking the bank.
                                          • Hit the beach early. Head to East Beach early in the morning for a serene experience, and to catch a glimpse of the sea lions and pelicans. Trust us, the early wake-up call is worth it.
