Santa Barbara Vacations, Tourism & Travel Information

Santa Barbara is the perfect place for a romantic getaway – with ocean views that can take your breath away, dining choices to write home about, and hotels that induce instant relaxation. 

On the other hand, a Santa Barbara vacation is very family friendly, with many options to entertain the little ones, while keeping the adults happy too.  You can easily make babysitting accommodations with many of the luxurious hotels, allowing you to bask in the spas and wineries without guilt. 

For a romantic experience, we recommend the The Simpsonhouse Inn, a stunning garden hotel that made serenity inevitable. In addition, this is the only five diamond AAA bed and breakfast in North America.  The Beach House Innis a pet friendly place with suites and apartments on the beach.

There are just so many things to put on your Santa Barbara, California things to do list that you may consider contacting a company like Captain Jack’s Tours, who offers horseback riding, kayaking, wine tours, even a romantic cruise at sunset upon a sailboat.

Be sure to come hungry because the food and dining options are so phenomenal here, they even have a tour just for foodies!  Wine lovers will have to incorporate Artiste Winery and Tasting Studio into their schedule as it is a sight to see, and even the wine bottles are pieces of art. Try one of their museum wines like L’Attente or After Work to complete your Santa Barbara vacation experience.
