California - Santa Barbara County (PDF Chapter)
Frankly put, this area is damn pleasant to putter around. Low-slung between lofty mountains and the shimmering Pacific, chic Santa Barbara’s red-tiled roofs, white stucco buildings and Mediterranean vibe give credence to its claim of being the ‘American Riviera.’
- eye panoramic views atop the Vertigo–esque clock tower of the Santa Barbara County Courthouse
- follow the Foxen Canyon Wine Trail to taste top-rated Pinot Noir
- kayak sea caves, hiking windswept cliffs and watching for whales in Channel Islands Na-tional Park
Coverage includes: Santa Barbara & Around, Santa Barbara Wine Coun-try, Wineries, Solvang, Buellton, Montecito, Summerland, Carpinteria, Ojai, Ventura, Channel Is-lands National Park.
