SANTA BARBARA AND OJAI DESTINATION GUIDE

YOUR NEXT BIG EVENT STARTS HERE

White stucco buildings topped with Spanish red tiles, golden sunshine 300 days a year, backed by dramatic mountains and vineyards – Santa Barbara has all the highlights of old-world Mediterranean with new-world amenities.

SANTA BARBARA AT A GLANCE

  • Santa Barbara sits away from the hustle and bustle, yet is accessible to LA (90 miles south) and San Francisco (330 miles north).
  • Mediterranean-style white stucco buildings with red-tile roofs reflect Santa Barbara’s Spanish colonial heritage.
  • Explore SB’s Funk Zone, a tucked-away collection of great restaurants, wine-tasting rooms, and galleries; the Channel Islands – a national park known as “the Galapagos of the north” – is just a few miles off the coast.
