Welcome to Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara - the "American Rivera". Sunny skies, swaying palms, sandy beach, cultural diversity, and a rich and fascinating history - collectively they form one of America's most desirable destinations. Internationally acclaimed photographer Tim Half has captured the spirit of Santa Barbara with nearly 120 images - showcasing its easy-going lifestyle, well-known and beloved historical sites, and an arts and cultural scene that ranges from exquisite gardens and theaters to sometimes quirky parades.
