SANTA BARBARA: FROM THE MISSION TO THE WARF -

Take a 3-mile walk from the "Queen of the Missions" past historic adobe homes and performing arts institutions. Then the lively downtown and wharf are perfect for a shopping and dining extravaganza!

Chumash Indians populated this area before the conquistador Ortega arrived in 1796. He must have thought he had found paradise itself! Known as the "American Riviera," Santa Barbara is beloved for its temperate weather - nearly 75 degrees year round - and for the sapphire ocean and caramel mountains that provide a spectacular natural backdrop. The red tile roofs and gleaming arches are symbols of the prevalent Spanish colonial architecture: here, of course, enhanced with the ubiquitous Santa Barbara charm! Come along on this three-mile walk that takes you from "The Queen of the Missions" to the historic, wood-planked Stearns Wharf.
