Santa Barbara is booming with wine tasting rooms and they're mostly all concentrated in the Funk Zone: a section of town southeast of the 101 freeway, where tasting rooms are all walking distance from each other! *The map+address displayed above is a general area for the Funk Zone, not any particular tasting room. Please reference the website for specific addresses.
Kayaking through the harbor is a great way to spend a few hours on the water!
The Santa Barbara Waterfront captures that postcard-perfect view of the area’s famous coastline. Pristine beaches, palm tree-lined shores, and the Santa Ynez Mountains as a backdrop ensure plenty of photo-worthy moments. Here you'll find food, drinks, bike rides, beach access, harbor access, and the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center.
Surrounded by the bustle of the modern-day city of Santa Barbara, El Presidio de Santa Bárbara State Historic Park preserves the site of the last of four military outposts built by the Spanish along the coast of Alta California.

You can’t go wrong at any place named Inspiration Point. There are a couple of ways to reach the panoramic views about 1,800 feet above Santa Barbara. Taking San Roque Road to the Jesusita Trail is just under an 8-mile round trip, with about 1,400 feet of elevation gain. A shorter alternative is to take Tunnel Road to Jesusita, which is about a 3.75-mile round trip, but you don’t have the ocean views on the way up. Whichever way you decide to get there, you’ll enjoy hiking through the oaks and sycamores at lower elevations, and the views at the top are, well, inspirational. The hike to Inspiration Point will take about 1.5 hours and has an elevation gain of 800 ft.
