Spanish colonial architecture enforced by strict building codes so the whole downtown reads as one consistent postcard, wine country a short drive over the mountains, and a beach and pier culture that never quite gave up the 1970s pace.
The best time to visit Santa Barbara is Apr–Sep, when typical daytime highs reach about 27°C (81°F).
