Santa Barbara
Channel Islands neighbor
Santa Barbara is a coastal city in Southern California, known for its Spanish colonial architecture, Mediterranean climate, and wealthy resort atmosphere.
The city sits between the Santa Ynez Mountains and the Pacific Ocean: We drove up to Santa Barbara for the weekend.
The name, from a Catholic saint, also designates the surrounding county and a channel of the Pacific.
