Nice stroll thru downtown SB

This is a nice stroll to take thru state street, especially since it takes you all the way thru downtown and to Stearns Wharf at the end.

Not as good as we imagined

This road let’s Santa Barbara down, closed shops, shops full of cheap tat and a shabby dirty feel about it however there are some nice shops and cafes etc in amongst it all.

Lots of shopping

The main drag of Santa Barbara [other than the beach]. Lots of shopping, food and eye candy. Loved the pianos on the corners where people just randomly sit down and play.

Shopping, Eating and Walking or riding the bus

If you are into shopping this is a great spot to visit some very unique shops, albeit a tad high end but browsing is free. The cheap bus takes you from one end to the other, starting near where the cruise ship tenders dock to...More

Fun shopping & restaurant district

Well known for a variety of interesting shops, State St. offers a bevy of excellent restaurants as well as being conveniently located relatively near the Santa Barbara Harbor and Stearns Wharf. Enjoy strolling along State St- especially on an overcast non- beach day.

Lovely walk

We took the bus from port to end of state street for 50 cents, great bargain, was given small map to see all The sites while walking back to port as well as stop for great Mexican lunch enroute. Easy walk and so enjoyable.

Just fun

After lunch we went for a walk along state street to ensure our marguerita was gone. This street is quaint with all kinds of places to check out.
