"Seeing Santa Barbara-and not "Sideways"" Santa Barbara by spgood301
Santa Barbara Travel Guide: 647 reviews and 1,200 photos
Santa Barbara is a pretty, laid back town a little north of Los Angeles. I felt like I left city life behind for a few hours. Hang out at the beach, stroll along Stearns Wharf and State Street, and enjoy a fun day.
Since the movie "Sideways" came out, the wine country surrounding Santa Barbara has become famous. Drive a little outside Santa Barbara for all sorts of vineyards, and scenery that will take your breath away.
All this, barely an hour from LA...amazing!
- Pros:A laid back part of California, not far from LA
- Cons:I wish I had more time there
- In a nutshell:Enjoy the scenery, enjoy the wine :-)
