I stayed in Santa Barbara for spring break this year and since I came back to LA I keep telling anyone that will listen how much Santa Barbara is like a paradise, everyone was so friendly and I felt like I was home. It's only been a few months but I'm already planning to go back perhaps in December and I'll definitely make it a tradition to go back for spring break and summer vacation. I absolutely loved gold's gym there and I remember on my last night there I walked down state street and went back to Stearns wharf where I had a cup of wine and met some really sweet ladies and had awesome Conversations with them that evening. I really miss this place and when I can I'm planning to get a property there

I loved this video. I'm English and my brother has lived in Santa Barbara with his wife and raised their children there for over twenty years. A beautiful place. Brought me much joy watching this. Thank you.

Across the street from that old movie theater and the stagecoach sign is a wonderful Mexican restaurant. You remember that place going there.

Beautiful. I dream of living in Santa Barbara. Weather looks great. Love the architecture and trees.

Yes, good walkthrough, this video is up to date for tourism and creations.

Since 2007 ,I have been there lovely plce to love.

It's so beautiful it makes me want to live there. I'm from England but it's so damn hard to immigrate to the USA, so my chances of living in a place like Santa Barbara are very slim!

Qué bello lugar, Santa Barbara! Gracias por compartir. Saludos desde CDMXm México :)

Santa Barbara is as close to heaven as you can find, with its perfect climate, nicexSpanish architecture, and lovely beaches. However, it creates an unreal living environment - very rich, combined with college students at UCSB. I livedxtherex18 months, but it was not sustainable, but a great place for a weekend! It is California, so it is part of the crazy Gavin Gruesome lunacy, and outrageous housing prices, and taxed into oblivion! The SB Wine Country is very nice. Hard to beat as a place to be, but needs more balance in its residency. Perfection in climate comes at a price. Always nice to revisit Santa Barbara. The Spanish Days Fiesta in August is a lot of fun!

We used to visit Santa Barbara twice a year. I am from Germany due to the crossed US borders its been a while. Thanks for sharing - brings back so much lovely memories!:)

I wasn’t able to walk State street when I came back to visit my hometown. I’m so glad I stumbled on your video. Happy to see O’Malley’s and some other stores are still there. You may wanna consider going back during fiesta and that’s beginning of August. You’ll have a better feeling of what Santa Barbara is really all about. Mahalo and Aloha!

I want to go back to CA! I love Santa Barbara!

WONDERFUL FEEL!

Fun to see a video of someone walking the same walk we’ve done numerous times, looks like they were setting up for the farmers market. You should have headed a few blocks over to the Santa Barbara Court building. It’s a beautiful place to get married and take pics around the grounds at the close by Mission. VP Kamala and Doug got married there.

So pretty and relaxing

I love your videos!!!

Santa Barbara is gorgeous!

♥️Beautiful video!

LOVE MY HOME TOWN🥰❣️

We ❤️ Santa Barbara!!!

Great video! I sure enjoyed it!👍🏻😎

I grew up in SLO County, but my uncle lived in SB and we would come down for dinner and to visit the pier. I always used to be so shocked at cars driving on the piers wooden planks, since none of the piers like Pismo allowed cars. I never remembered that until seeing your video. Something so exotic about a car on a wooden pier haha.

A great place

Nice 👍🏽 bro feeling the walk right with you

My Former Home Town of Santa Barbara California so Beautiful where the weather is always nice. Things which happen during the year are ,Santa barbara international Film Festival ,Santa Barbara International Orchid Show,Earth Day Festival, Summer Solstice, Big Fourth of July Parade and Celebrations, Old Spanish Days, Annual Holiday Parade, Parade of Lights & many numerous Events. There many places to eat and dine out. The Beach is nice and you can walk on Stearns Warf and look at the water, The Beautiful Courthouse, The El Presidio, The Art Museum. The Arlington Theater with it's Ceiling of stars, The Beautiful Mission which is considered to be the Queen of Missions, The Santa Barbara Zoo. Singer Kenny Loggins usually has a Concert for the Unity Shoppe to help the less unfortunate. Santa Barbara High School with it's Renovated Track.

I’ve never been to downtown Santa Barbara. I went to the ocean there, but left quickly on my trip north. Thanks!

Socks N' Stuff - a great little shop. Shopped there while I was visiting my son. Santa Barbara is a wonderful community !!

Have been there two days ago… We love it every our trip by car from LA… You missed the beautiful Hotel California , close to railroad… Every building in Santa Barbara has Spanish styles and with nature surrounding it is breathtaking town …. Also Santa Barbara has many , very cozy small places with restaurants and cafes…..

I love Santa Barbara. Spent time there at St Marys retreat house next to the mission. Sisters moved. House is up for sale on seven acres.

I’m a Santa Barbara native and love my hometown! I visit my family there twice a year. Hubs and I lived in the Bay Area, then moved to the PNW. I always tell friends that I left my heart in SB, not SFO!

The White Supremacists here RUN every area of Society and whatever they SAY goes, if You are POOR and/or Brown/black; even the Judges in Court here are extremely CORRUPT and you are just wasting your time trying to Enforce your Rights as US Citizen.

I heard Santa Barbara is the most expensive city in Calif...I can see why.. Architecture is stunning......

you picked a pretty quiet afternoon. There are many street musicians playing around State st., and some of them are really good, but none that day. It would have been worth catching a few of them

As a person who watches your Living in AZ videos and recently moved from Santa Barbara, CA to Mesa, AZ this is pretty surreal. Believe it or not, State Street used to be a two lane road full of Ubers trying to dodge the "no stopping" fines on Saturday night. SB is very beautiful, especially if you get into the mountains. I miss being able to wake up at 11AM and still go on a hike in the summer. I don't miss the cost of living or the politics though.

Lovely city not packed with tourists as it often happens in Italy 👍

Would you say we could uber from the airport to our hotel and not need a rental car for a week? Is it pretty walkable? Thank you:)!

My grandparents lived there for years and I used to stay with them there in the summers. They have long passed and I have not been there since 1977. They lived by a park and not far from Fisherman's Wharf ( at least that is what it was called then) I would go fishing there every morning. I can remember some foggy mornings, otherwise I thought the weather was great there. I can remember when you could hunt Abalone back then. One question, I remember walking down to the beach and at some point, I think walking northward that there was a nude beach. That still around? Heck, I was 15 last time I was there

Hello world from a 3rd gen local 🤗

It is a ghost town in Santa Barbara. That is so weird. That street is usually bustling with tons of people at that time of day. Well times are definitely changing there. That is so crazy though who would of thought. It was way busier than that during the fire's and the Montecito floods.

I lived just off upper State St in Santa Barbara, it is such a lovely city. Loved walking down State St, and over to the Mission with it's lovely rose garden. All you guys that do these videos do not understand that you should show these lovely buildings. Aim your camera across the street for the best view; walk the other side of the street and do the same. Just aiming straight misses it.

@@chrischamberlain7628 if you live west to the city in the town of Goleta, the housing situation is marginally better, your not gonna grab some 3500 sq foot home or anything but it’s not impossible to live there. They are also starting to build more townhouse style buildings that are more affordable. Also Goleta isn’t like an hour away or anything, it’s like 10 miles from where this video began. Keep in mind that I mean affordable relative to anything downtown or east of it. Honestly though don’t move here unless you can get a great job offer from like a tech company or something, many places have gone out of business, even before the pandemic, and the elite that owns the places don’t repurpose them they just leave them abandoned and take losses for tax purposes I guess. There’s like 3 small beaches that aren’t coated in bug filled seaweed and trash not to mention all the tar in the sand. If it’s the beach your looking for this ain’t it. Isla vista is an even bigger dump than it was a few years ago(I saw a couple comments asking about isla vista so I thought I’d mention it).
