Santa Barbara is a lovely coastal town located at the southern end of California's Central Coast, although the weather is much closer to Southern California. Santa Barbara is ideally situated between LA and San Fransisco making it an important stop for shows, musicians, and entertainers as they head to either of the bigger cities. This is why Santa Barbara has excellent entertainment almost every day.

Santa Barbara's coast is filled with warm sandy beaches many of them protected from the Channel Islands. Day trips to the Channel Islands, from Santa Barbara's Harbor happen daily. If Sailing isn't your thing then try excellent wine tasting right over the hill in Santa Ynez. Santa Barbara is a charming mid sized town with something for everyone.
