19 Things to do in Santa Barbara: Restaurants, Beaches, Hikes & Museums

Santa Barbara is located along Pacific Coast Highway about 2 hours from Los Angeles. This coastal town is stunning with miles of beaches, fantastic restaurants and great history to explore. Santa Barbara is great for a long weekend or for a few weeks of exploring and here are some of my favorite spots ranging from the Old Mission and El Presidio de Santa Barbara to Stearns Wharf and the Santa Barbara Harbor.
