The pristine city's perfect climate gives rise to a number of natural attractions worth checking out. Stroll through the Santa Barbara Botanic Gardens to view breathtaking flora or hike a scenic nature trail in Los Padres National Forest. The beaches all have their own vibe.

Indoor enthusiasts will find solace touring the fine collection at the Santa Barbara Museum of Art or poking around the old Mission. For a fresh and delicious seafood dinner, the restaurants on Stearn's Wharf can't be beat. « less
