They don’t call Santa Barbara the American Riviera for nothing. From kayaking at Stearn's Wharf to bouldering at Lizard's Mouth, SB is one of our favorite playgrounds on the California coast, complete with sweeping ocean views backed by trail-laden mountains. After a season of natural disasters, the people of Santa Barbara have shown us what true resilience looks like, coming together as a community to support and reconstruct the place they call home.
