Santa Barbara

After a few nights in smaller seaside communities it was somewhat of a relief to arrive in Santa Barbara and the place is every inch how you imagine California.

State Street, the main downtown area, is lined with bars and restaurants and leads right down to the ocean.

The golden sands of the beach flank the pier that protrudes out into the Pacific and such a large expanse of sand means that finding a spot isn’t a problem, or at least it wasn’t in mid-October.

The road that runs parallel to the beach is packed with palm trees, forming a picturesque seafront and the beauty of the town is not lost on the locals, a laidback yet glamorous bunch.

Two days on the beach and a birthday night-out sampling Santa Barbara’s trendy surf themed nightlife made for a relaxing time before the hustle and bustle of LA.
