The tragedy still unfolding along the Gulf Coast following the BP Oil Spill has spawned an event in Santa Barbara to show solidarity with the people and environment impacted by the spill.
Now officially a silver screen star as it celebrates its 25th year, the legendary SBIFF is a potent mix of celebrities, world premieres and an envy-inducing tableau of parties, food, wine and spirits.
With the onset of fall, Santa Barbara serves up a rich harvest of world-class food and wine opportunities at every turn.
The smoke has cleared from wildfires that recently charred foothill areas, but ultimately inflicted minimal damage to the tourism infrastructure of “America’s Riviera.”
Did you ever just want to sail away from it all? The Santa Barbara Sailing Center shows you how, plus lets you enjoy a liveaboard experience while you learn.
There are lots of fancy places to stay in Santa Barbara, but we prefer to head out of town to the more rustic El Capitan Canyon; a nature reserve once home to the Chumash Indians.
