"Beauty, elegance, on the Central Coast" Santa Barbara by tvdandy
Santa Barbara Travel Guide: 647 reviews and 1,200 photos
What more needs to be said about Santa Barbara. It is laid back, clean, full of very beautiuful people. What is nice is that you can walk from the beach to State St, so you can leave your car at the Hotel. There is a good variety of people, of all ages, the young set of UCSB and the tourists. Their are many beauties walking the beach and State St, but not exactly snobbie, but they do know it:)
The weather is wonderful, there are many attractions around the area or just a hour or so drive. A must see, I must say. A very relaxed atmosphere
The sun does not set on the ocean, but the colors are wonderful, especially when sailboats fill the area.
- Pros:weather, natural beauty, beaches next to downtown, great looking people
- Cons:I wish I was hot enough and rich enough for the gals to like me
