Boardwalk Bound: Take the scenic route through Santa Barbara
Sometimes the best way to discover Santa Barbara is to slow down and walk.
With the ocean beside you, mountains in the distance, and plenty to discover along the way, the Central Coast gives you plenty of reasons to step outside.
Here are a few ways to make your next Discover SB adventure count:
ποΈ Walk the coastline
Start with the beach, follow the shoreline, and take your time with the views.
π₯Ύ Find a trail
Trade the boardwalk for the hills and explore Santa Barbara's scenic hiking routes.
π΄ Explore the waterfront
Take in the coastal atmosphere, watch the waves, and find a spot to slow down.
ποΈ Wander beyond the beach
Explore Santa Barbara's historic streets, local architecture, and neighborhoods for a different side of the city.
π° Bring the Sand & Sculptures spirit
Make time for the beach, get creative with the sand, and enjoy the simple things that make a coastal trip memorable.
π And with fall bringing a slower rhythm to the Central Coast, you don't have to rush from one attraction to the next.
Your adventure can be as simple as a walk, a view, and somewhere new to explore.
