Pros: A wide variety of resorts and prices.
Cons: Hard to get in during high season.
I've lived in Santa Barbara for the past 10 years and my friends and family like to visit from time to time. I live in a small condo, so I often need to find alternative accommodations for them.
Santa Barbara is 90 miles north of Los...

Pros: Everything
Cons: Nothing
Last summer, my family and I took a road trip up the coast of California. One of our “overnight” (we ended up spending a whole week) stops was the little town of Santa Barbara. I found Paradise. Gorgeous white sandy beaches and huge, green luscious...

Pros: Relaxing, beautiful, accessible
Cons: Not a lot of hiking trails
It must not be forgotten that, aside from the charms of Santa Barbara proper, the area offers some of the most delightful camping in California.
There are a wealth of parks and campgrounds nearby. I visited Santa Ynez, in the Santa Barbara...

by charles  - Top 100, Nov 12 '99
Pros: Great city..Nice & Cool Breeze...Lots to do..A City On The Move
Cons: Downtown is somewhat crowded, depending on the time...No complaint
In a crescendo and with a symphony-like harmony,
the waves of the ocean faithfully caress the seashores
to the delight of the fun-seeking tourists, beach bums,
traditional sea-goers, and week-end artists
whose craft and meticulous...

Pros: Historic information, beautiful setting
Cons: Have to rely on signs for information/self-guided tours
On a trip to Southern and Central California in July (2000), I visited two of the California Missions -- Santa Barbara and La Purisma (in Lompoc).
If you're interested in exploring the old California missions, Mission Santa Barbara (Queen of...

Pros: Historic Wonderful Hotel
Cons: This review should be in the Palm Springs, San Diego Area. Sorry
Riverside, California is not considered to be a mecca for tourists, and yet it harbors one of the greatest experiences of your life. The Mission Inn occupies an entire city block in old downtown Riverside. It began in 1876 as a 12 room adobe boarding...

Pros: Sun Ocean Mountains Small town feeling
Cons: Only decent surfing is during the winter months
Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains, Santa Barbara is one of those magical places where you feel as if the sun is always following you.
An old standing city ordinance (no buildings taller than 3 stories) has left the Santa...

Pros: SB still has lots of shops and a clean strand
Cons: nothing but fake tourism here
In Santa Barbara there isn't much to see beyond State Street and the nearby beach, but there used to be.
There used to be a bustling college community full of drunk coeds and beer guzzling stooges. Whatever happened to those times? Legend...

Pros: Weather, if you like alot of sunshine and nice temps...not everyone does.
Cons: The somewhat pretentious 'old money' attitudes.
Okay, so Pennilain has been a native for awhile but will soon be brushing off her boots to continue her travels to a new destination to amuse you with her adventures...So, here are the tips for my most recent haunt..
DO:

Pros: unexpectedly cool and beautiful place
Cons: can seem empty and overly touristy if you don't know where to look
I used to live in Santa Barbara, and it remains one of my favorite places in the world. There are very few places that offer the variety of natural wonders and activities from being nestled in so close to both the ocean and the Santa Ynez mountains....

Pros: lots of bars and clubs
Cons: drunk men who think they can score with a college girl
Contrary to other opinions the party scene in Santa Barbara is alive and kicking. Trust me, I spent the last four years of my life researching it. ...you just have to know where and when to go. Typically the party weekend starts on Thursdays and if...

from time, and enriched with the colors of
history and culture. Some cities grow old and
then slowly die. Santa Barbara never grows
old, just more elegant and...
