Day or night, the vibes are always good, on State Street. There are so many fun stores to pop into and restaurants to try. Definitely check out McConnell's for some of the BEST ice cream, or Santa Barbara Coffee Roasters for a delicious cup of coffee. If you're looking for a beach read, the Book Den is so cozy and has so many great books stocked. For a quick drink and bite to eat, Institution Ale Co. has certainly got you covered. Explore and enjoy yourselves - there's so much to see and do!
If you find yourself taking a stroll along the wharf, be sure to stop into the Sea Center. There's lots of fun things to see and learn about the maritime life along the California Coast. You can always stop by the candy shop on your way out or grab some fish 'n chips at one of the restaurants located on the wharf, as well.
If you have some time, the zoo is the perfect place to spend an afternoon. Not only will you see such a variety of wild life, you also get such amazing views of the ocean. Feed some giraffe's, grab a bite, and enjoy a (hopefully) sunny afternoon wandering and exploring.
