Santa Barbara Historical Museum
Santa Barbara
　　Embracing a romantic cloistered adobe courtyard, this peaceful little museum tells the story of Santa Barbara.

Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History
Santa Barbara

Stearns Wharf
Santa Barbara
　　The southern end of State St gives way to Stearns Wharf, a rough wooden pier lined with souvenir shops, snack stands and seafood shacks.
