Great local beach. Good sand and not as crowded as the beaches by the Santa Barbara pier. Try the Boathouse restaurant right there. Great place to watch the sunset.

Great place for a photo. This Moreton Bay Fig Tree, believed the largest in the US, is next to the Train Station. It was central to Santa Barbara before Hwy 101 and cut the city in 1/2 in 1980s.

I love this place for an intimate dinner. Great food and a wonderful atmosphere. It is worth the short drive and is a better value that State Street places. Charlie Chaplin used to own it.

Best bakery in the county, bar none. D'Angelo's is owned by a German couple and no one knows their bread like the Germans (and yes, I am biased). Great breakfast and lunch as well.

This may be the most famous restaurant in town as it was Julia Child's favorite. It is little more than a hole in the wall physically, but the food makes up for the total lack of ambiance.

Drinks & Nightlife
The Brewhouse is a neighborhood institution. The brew pub is visited by students, and high end diners alike. The evenings offer live bands. I go there for the local atmosphere more than the food.
