4 days in Santa Barbara Itinerary

Nestled between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains, Santa Barbara is a solid vacation destination with its wide beaches, renowned wineries, and some of California's finest shopping and dining options.

You'll get in some beach time at Zuma Beach and Nicholas Canyon Beach. Get some cultural insight at Wine Tours & Tastings and Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum. Change things up with a short trip to Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita (about 1h 40 min away). The adventure continues: contemplate the long history of Old Mission Santa Barbara, get a taste of the local shopping with State Street Underpass, learn about winemaking at Margerum Wine Company Tasting Room, and get a taste of local nightlife at Grassini Family Vineyards.
