 Santa Barbara is sometimes referred to as the American Riviera, not only a beautiful place to live it also boasts an abundance of activities, employment opportunities, and resources at its disposal.
The climate in Santa Barbara is one of the most pleasant year-round climates in the country. Temperatures range from the mid 60's to the mid 70's (degrees Fahrenheit) throughout the year. Late summer temperatures may climb into the 80's but evening temperatures are refreshingly cool all year long.
Santa Barbara is 43.09 square miles (land covers 21.09 sq. mi. and water 22 sq. mi.). Just 92 miles north of Los Angeles, a little more than an hour’s drive, or a short hop from anywhere in the world via the Santa Barbara airport, you will be mesmerized by its beautiful beaches, majestic mountains and colorful culture. Santa Barbara’s famous beaches lie along a unique south-facing stretch of coastline that affords beach visitors sun all day long and greater shelter from winds and surf.

Santa Barbara is the largest city and the seat of Santa Barbara County, which covers 2,744 square miles. The Santa Ynez Mountains, which run along the east-west section of the Santa Barbara coast, serve as the boundary distinguishing “North County” (Buellton, Guadalupe, Lompoc, Los Alamos, Los Olivos, Santa Maria, Santa Ynez, Solvang) from "South County" (Carpinteria, Goleta, Montecito, Santa Barbara, and Summerland). While the South County cities and towns nestle in the Santa Ynez foothills on the shore of the Pacific Ocean, North County communities are located in higher-elevation inland mountain valleys.
In addition to the beautiful beaches, Santa Barbara County encompasses enormously varied terrain: nearly one-third of its total acreage is set aside in the Los Padres National Forest, which includes the rugged San Rafael wilderness area. |
 Santa Barbara hosts many special events throughout the year. Annual events include Old Spanish Days, Summer Solstice Celebration, the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, the Harbor & Seafood Festival, the Amgen Tour of California, Old Spanish Days and the Santa Barbara County Vintners’ Festival.
