Things To Do
Stearns Wharf
Iconic Santa Barbara stop that features the sea center for some local maritime education and the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company for excellent fresh local seafood.
Santa Barbara Museum Of Art
An outstanding collection for a small town museum. The site of many school field trips for Amanda.
Shoreline Park
Amanda's childhood favorite with some of the best views of the Santa Barbara coastline.
Santa Barbara Botanic Garden
A favorite Wells family location; enjoy a nature walk through a curated look at local plant life. We recommend making a reservation.
Mission Rose Garden
A classic for a reason. Perfect for history nerds and picnic enthusiasts alike.
Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
Again, another smaller museum that punches above their weight. Right next door to the Mission, this is a great location to learn about local history and wildlife. Every summer they feature the Butterflies Alive! An exhibit, another Wells family favor.
Los Agaves Restaurant
Family-owned and operated for nearly two decades, this is a spot for delicious Mexican food in a casual sit down environment.
Honor Bar
A celebrity and Wells family favorite, this spot on Coast Village Road has an excellent menu and bar offering. It can get busy for dinner. Walk-in only, but well worth the wait. Honor Market next door offers coffee & espresso and other take home goodies including pizza.
Renaud's Patisserie & Bistro
An outstanding local French bakery with multiple locations throughout Santa Barbara. A perfect spot for brunch or a sweet treat. The almond croissant is a must order!
Sunstone Winery
Sunstone Winery is nestled in the scenic Santa Ynez Valley, just beyond the mountains. If you have transportation, we highly recommend exploring the beautiful Santa Barbara wine country while you're in the area
Inspiration Point Trailhead
Sweeping views of Santa Barbara, this hike is partially paved, but also a great exercise. Making for a fun activity in the morning.
