Things to do in Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara sits on a rare south-facing stretch of the California coast, between the Pacific and the steep Santa Ynez Mountains. After an earthquake in 1925, the city rebuilt in a cohesive Spanish Colonial Revival style, and its white stucco walls and red tile roofs remain its signature. UC Santa Barbara in neighboring Goleta supports a research and technology community, while tourism, wine, real estate and the estates of Montecito, home to many well-known names, shape the local economy.
