As we arrive in the "American Riviera," we explore the historic Stearns Wharf, the oldest working wood wharf in California, and the vibrant, pedestrian-friendly State Street. The absolute highlight of this trip is our discovery at Shoreline Park. We reveal a secret, steep staircase that leads down to rugged, towering cliffs and a rocky shoreline that feels worlds away from the city. We also dive deep into the rich history of the Old Mission Santa Barbara and the stunning Santa Barbara County Courthouse, which looks ethereal in the morning fog.
