Josie has curated our Field Guide for February 2024 featuring one of her favorite beach towns along the CA coast — Santa Barbara.
EXPLORE
For the best views, Francesci Lookout overlooks all of Santa Barbara on a clear day. If you want to cool down, 7 Falls Hike leads to the best natural springs and Rattlesnake River is a nice spot for a quick dip!
CAFES
Pali Wine Bar is a fun spot in the Funk Zone for natural wine and live music on the patio. If you need a caffeine pick-me-up, Dart Coffee's garden is a great place to sip and work.
BEACHES
One of the best parts about Santa Barbara is the proximity to the beach. Butterfly Beach is a personal favorite for walking and lounging and Rincon never fails for a surf session.
