Low Cost Hotels in Santa Barbara ➤ Best Prices Guaranteed!

Failed marriages, attempted murder, deception, betrayal ... such was the stuff of Santa Barbara, the daytime soap (off the air since '93 but popular abroad). Santa Barbara's coastal beauty and architectural heritage hold up to its fictional portrayal. The city has one of the richest cultural scenes in the nation. In addition to the University of California, there are any number of art museums and theaters around town. The Santa Barbara missions and the city's omnipresent adobe-style houses are a reminder of its Spanish culture and heritage, celebrated and preserved in the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History as well as in the Old Spanish Days festival. With the superb weather and mountainous backdrop, tourists flock to the white-sand beaches. Sailing, surfing and fishing are among the city's favorite pastimes. In fact, the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos are renowned for their watersports teams. But if you care to explore the Santa Barbara coast without getting your feet wet, the Channel Islands National Park is one of the most famous marine parks in the world. The park's magnificent kelp forest is the largest on the planet.
