Charming Santa Barbara

If you're ever visiting the States, or are near California, try to make a visit to Santa Barbara. Its a charming place to be for a quick getaway, or a weekend. Its a casual romantic beachy place with pure charm. Santa Barbara is the typical Californian beachy city with tall palm trees lining up the shore, sans the hectic fast paced lifestyle of LA. It is more mellow and calm.
It has hotels lined up by the beach shore, and a long street, State Street, for lots of walking, shopping, sitting at cafe's, or renting bikes.
There's a small boat pier where you can take small sunset boat trips right at the beach end of State Street. Or, you can ride a horse along the beach. 


Other than numerous fun activities to keep yourself busy with, they have some cute restaurants like The Andersens, an amazing place for typical Danish breakfasts where they serve you divine almond croissants as you wait for your order, or an Italian restaurant with a gorgeous seated patio with candle lit tables to dine in as the sun sets.
The Andersens-

I haven't tried this tour below, but it seems like a fun ride.

PS: Its a 5 hour drive from San Diego, or a 3 hour drive from Los Angeles.
