Holidays in East Beach

Tell your mates sorry not sorry if you don’t respond to their messages. You're about to experience the best bits of East Beach, Santa Barbara! This lively city has a population of around 88,000 people and attracts big numbers of adventurous visitors every year. To get to East Beach from Santa Barbara Municipal Airport, hop in a taxi and head east for 15 kilometres. You'll find this neighbourhood 2 kilometres east of downtown Santa Barbara.

East Beach is heaven on earth for sightseers. A good deal of the city's top attractions are strewn near this appealing neighbourhood, including Mission Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County Courthouse. The must-see sights of Presidio Santa Barbara and the Santa Barbara Zoo are also at your fingertips. A great way to soak up this city is to wander around a few of its neighbourhoods. So why not take off to nearby Santa Barbara Beach and Santa Barbara Urban Wine Trail and discover their sights and sounds?

If you wouldn't mind exploring some highlights in central Santa Barbara, head to the Santa Barbara Museum of Art and the Lotusland. Alternatively, take a look around the Santa Barbara Natural History Museum and the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden.

Not much calms the mind and boosts your creativity like visiting an art gallery. Spark your curiosity as you admire the powerful collections at the Santa Barbara Contemporary Arts Forum and the Carriage and Western Art Museum.

If you find yourself stuck with some miserable weather, head for shelter at the Susan Quinlan Doll and Teddy Bear Museum, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, the Ty Warner Sea Center and Santa Barbara Art Foundry. The interesting collections are sure to keep your imagination buzzing and your clothes dry!

You can't quite beat that feeling of anticipation when a show is about to get under way. Wait for the curtains to rise at Santa Barbara Bowl, the Arlington Theater, the Lobero Theater and the Granada Theatre.

Switch off your phone, disengage from the chaos of modern living and soak up the serenity of the outdoors at Fern Falls, Seven Falls, Jesusita Trail and El Capitan Lake.

A good way of checking the ocean's temperature is by taking your shoes off and wading around. See what the water's like at Leadbetter Beach and Arroyo Burro Beach.

Discover the beauty of the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden and Andree Clark Bird Refuge. If you're fortunate, you may even spot some native animals!

Whether you're looking to go for a relaxing wander or throw a ball around with some friends, the nearby green spaces are wonderful places to be. Take your pick from Alameda Park, De la Guerra Plaza, Alice Keck Memorial Garden and Shoreline Park.

Nothing beats indulging in a bit of shopping. Grab your wallet and make a stop at La Cumbre Plaza, Paseo Nuevo Mall, La Arcada and Santa Barbara Public Market.

Make your way over for a hands-on history lesson at the Santa Barbara City College, Stearns Wharf, the Santa Barbara Historical Museum and the Santa Barbara Maritime Museum. Reading about them in a textbook just doesn't compare!
