It’s Wednesday, which means it’s time for our featured spot of the week here at Marina Beach Motel. Every Wednesday, we share a business or attraction in Santa Barbara to help our guests decide what to do and where to go during their stay with us. This week, we’re featuring an integral part of downtown Santa Barbara, and many tourists’ and locals’ favorite part of the area: State Street.
State Street has everything a tourist in Santa Barbara could want: beautiful street views, plenty of people watching opportunities, lots of places to shop, and just as many places to eat. It’s a huge Santa Barbara attraction, and we can see why! So if you’re trying to figure out things to do in Santa Barbara, this is a must.
Visiting State Street is great if you’re looking for romantic date ideas, because it gives you the chance to stroll hand in hand while admiring all that Santa Barbara has to offer. You can stop in at any number of restaurants to eat and you can even shop around for some souvenirs while you’re there.
State Street also makes for a great way to explore Santa Barbara solo, at your own leisure. The people alone make it fascinating to visit. You’ll get to see all the locals and tourists in one place and get a feel for the overall vibe of this incredible city. Even if you don’t purchase anything, strolling along State Street is one of our favorite things to do in Santa Barbara.
