Things To Do
Hiking, wining, and dining are what we do when we are here!
HIKING: Gaviota Peak (pictured above) is our favorite hike. It's about 35 min away, though, so if you want something closer, try Inspiration Point (beautiful summit views of the city and ocean) or Tunnel Trail (we haven't been but heard it's great). Check out this website for more ideas: https://www.santabarbarahikes.com/hikes/frontcountry/.
WINE: SB is right by some of the country's best vineyards, about 30 of which have tasting rooms in the downtown area. Some of our favorites include Jaffurs, Kunin, Pali, Riverbench (sparkling), and Deep Sea (located on the pier!). Use this website as a guide and enjoy: https://urbanwinetrailsb.com/.
FOOD: For fancy dinners, we like The Lark and Loquita. For more affordable eats, Corazon Cocina has delicious Mexican food. Helena Avenue Bakery has great picnic provisions (pastries, sandwiches, side salads). And you're not living right if you don't get McConnell's ice cream!
