Santa Barbara, California: Beach Town Nicknamed "The American Riviera"

Santa Barbara stands out among the towns along the 400-mile stretch between San Francisco and Los Angeles thanks to its prime location: it’s sandwiched between Pacific beaches to the south and the Santa Ynez Mountains to the north. It's urban, but not overly so—the downtown corridor along State Street is lined with mom-and-pop shops, cafés, bars, art galleries, and movie theaters.

A subtle Mediterranean influence graces most buildings: there are red-tile roofs, stucco façades, and Moorish-style arches. The climate is breezy and warm all year, providing an environment for lush tropical foliage to thrive. It's easy to see why the city bills itself as "The American Riviera."
