Parks and Beaches
No trip to Santa Barbara would be complete without a visit to the beach. Well, there are quite a lot to choose from. The very well maintained beaches and parks feature both natural and historical attractions. Overnight camping and picnic spaces can be booked in advance. Resident Rangers provide a lot of information on the history as well as flora and fauna.
The City
- Rocky Nook Park
- City Beaches (East Beach to Ledbetter)
- Lookout Beach Park
- Rincon Beach Park
- Arroyo Beach Park (Hendry's Beach)
- Eilings Park
These clips provide a brief "overview" on various aspects of Santa Barbara today, and by no means are they to be considered complete. People have been living on the land for over 30,000 years and by the time the Spanish arrived the third of a succession of Indian cultures was in residence. Street names such as Anacapa and Anapamu are a testament to the rich history.
Recreation
It would be difficult to be bored in Santa Barbara with so much to do on land, in the air and on (and in) the water. From skateboarding and bicycling, to parasailing and hang-gliding, and from scuba diving and snorkeling to riding the waves on a Jet Ski, sailboat or motorboat; there are many activities to consider - both as a participant and a spectator.
Attractions
Given its architectural and cultural diversity, there is certainly much to see in Santa Barbara. There are several tour operators and walking excursions to occupy the body and the mind, both in the city and along the trails through the hills. Also, beyond the world-famous kelp beds, both whale and dolphin watching, for instance, can be done while on a boat or atop a cliff.
