Santa Barbara - Travel Guide | Things to do

[@grp00]

I first visited Santa Barbara in the late 1970s and loved it. I returned many times over the years and fell in love with the place. Not only that, but I now live here and couldn't be happier. Lastly, this is an excellent quick overview of Santa Barbara, and I experience nearly everything showcased in it every day. I feel so fortunate to be here.

[@floresningas]

I live 4 hours north along the coast of Santa Barbara and I take my family there for our yearly mini vacation. It's paradise ✨️

[@Targa4GTS]

I was in Santa Barbara once in September 1995 on the way from San Francisco to LA as a German tourist I just wanted to stay one night there after long ride with a red Chrysler convertible on the 101 and to continue my travel next day to LA and San Diego but I was so fascinated by this beautiful city so that we decided to stay 3 days in Santa Barbara and enjoyed every single day.

Chip, that was great. You did an excellent job of giving us an idea of what Santa Barbara is like. We especially loved the pictures of the dolphins.

[@YehTounkara]

I really like it, thanks for showing me around. ❤

[@Samar-v4g8b]

Cool vibes and motivating hill view. Enjoyed thoroughly.

[@MartinHernandez-re6hh]

Santa Barbara is my favorite city in California! You should visit during the "Spanish Old Days" yearly festival. It's amazing!

[@69FOSTER]

That weekend in August is so awesome! So many activities and GREAT food!

[@jluiscervantes6918]

Love living here in SB. Lovely place

[@Geno619]

I was born and raised there. It was paradise for a kid who loved to surf. It is very expensive. I moved away in 1990. It's so hard to see I miss it there a lot. I always figured my parents would keep their home there. They moved to be near me . I don't visit anymore but I really should. Thanks for your video !

[@michaelnaretto3409]

I lived in Goleta. The whole area from Goleta to Carpenteria is beautiful. It's too bad that Newsom and Liberals in general have made the place unbearable to live in...

[@dimakor5914]

Worked for 3 years in Santa Barbara University, this place is like paradise, especialy if you arrived from far north.

This video does the best job showing off the beauty of Santa Barbara. One correction: Solvang is a Danish, not Dutch themed town.

[@69FOSTER]

Yes, Danish, and a great place to visit.

I’ve never been to Santa Barbra but this video makes me want to go. Great job!

Hello santa Barbara 😀😀😀😀😀

[@zolewi35]

I was born here and spent my first six years here. Moved away 26 years ago now, but I still have family there. Miss it more and more everyday (moved to Oxnard and as an adult reside in NorCal). I'm planning on going back next year and at least hitting up all the old spots I barely remember lol

[@dysay]

also nice to learn about the native inhabitants if youre in SB! the chumash people have a long history here and there are various ways to learn more.

If you go here, definitely try Burphy Brothers! Amazing food and chowder. The Fishouse is also amazing. Right across from the Hotel Californian is the Margerum winery. It's a great way to spend a late afternoon with some great wine and their charcuterie boards.

It's called Brophy Bros.

Wow people get this guys channel out! this video was perfect unlike those that quickly whip the camera all over the places and miss the context of those places; his factoids surrounding SB were great and only could have been cooler if he had a small quick piece on Michael Keaton who lives there since 1970 and loves riding horses after his "Birdman" killer comeback.

Great video and I think it sold me on taking my wife and two daughters (23 and 15) there for vacation this summer. Question, they love to just walk and look at shops, get coffee, eat etc very in a short walking distance but I’d also like to be somewhat close to the beach. Is that possible, or would you say to choose one or the other?

It’s a beautiful town indeed. My family and I were there last week. But they need to get tough on the homelessness. That’ll decay the city quicker than anything. I know it’s not “nice” to say, but look what nice has done to other major metropolitan cities. Time to get tough
