  • Historic State Street Plaza in Downtown Santa Barbara is one of America’s most pedestrian-friendly downtowns, in large part due to the amazing diversity of shopping choices. Our shop-lined streets are a favorite with visitors and locals alike. From Santa Barbara-style specialty shops to national brands, and from regional gallery favorites to indie boutiques, Downtown Santa Barbara offers an authentic shopping experience, whether you are seriously shopping, strolling, or just taking in the scene.

    In 1987 my dad worked for a telephone company and the company transferred him to Santa Barbara for about four months. About twice a month he'd come down to the L.A. area and picked us up and took us back to Santa Barbara and we'd spend a week there. Good times.
    I fell in love with that city and moving there is on my bucket list

    I'm from Oxnard, California. An hour down the road from Santa Barbara. Until recently however, I hadn't been to Santa Barbara in years. I'd forgotten how beautiful it is. Amongst the most beautiful, and architecturally unique cities in America.
    It has so much beautiful Spanish style architecture. Yet the city also has cultural influences from all over the world. Especially cuisine. Its such a mellow place too.

    I lived in Santa Barbara for about a year to learn English, and it has been the best city I've ever lived in. I couldn't skip any second in this video. SB is such a blessed city. The weather, architecture, people, beach, and this beautiful scenery. Hope to go back to SB someday. Thank you for uploading and sharing this beauty :)

    Interesting (since I have lived in Santa Barbara my whole like). Funny thing: this is only one tiny aspect of the area. Sadly, tourists never see the "real Santa Barbara" and are confined to Cabrillo Blvd., and State Street shops and the wharf. Maybe that's a good thing? I don't know. The deserted beaches, mountain trails, natural hot springs, where the Hollywood-types hang out, well, I could go on-and-on. Somehow, the natives should take visitors under their wing and show them the REAL deal. But then, AirBNB is illegal in Santa Barbara ... DAMN! Well, you could stay at the new Miramar hotel for $800 per night. Yeah, just drive up for the day.

    So many, SO many beautiful places in this country. When people say one has to leave the USA to see real beautiful places, they are dumb. I mean, this is California, so most coastal states are going to have more to offer, but one can go to, say, Iowa, and there is much beauty there, too (and I don't mean the flat fields). I love Santa Barbara.

      The party bus is a horrible rip off. NEVER go on that thing. It is ONLY an advertisement for the businesses they promote. They drive by the businesses and PROMOTE them. "Pay to play!" (I live here and hate that stupid thing, because it's, as I say, BORING ... and a rip-off. Just walk around and talk to the locals. (don't eat at the "Breakwater Cafe" or "Moby Dick." Nasty food, bad coffee ... you're better off at Sambos! Seriously! (the "Fish House" looks expensive ... but is reasonable and the food is excellent.) I could write a book!

      @tamaraspink4201 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Michael Jiroch I totally agree. He’s entranced by her and she presses all his buttons - His vulnerability and mental health issues. She’s re-mothering him. He wanted to step back, she helped him. But he also loves his country, the military (where he was his happiest) and his family. He’s lost it all. He was loved here; ever since his mother was killed and he walked behind her coffin, he’s been in the nation’s heart. He was our boy. So the hurt is very deep here. Meghan seems to create difficulties wherever she goes. Family, friends, work, relationships...I cannot see Harry happy there long-term unless he makes some non-celebrity friends and starts doing some down to earth work. He’s happiest with ordinary folk. But now they need $$$ to pay that mortgage. And neither of them have much to offer, in honesty!
