Last time I was talking about amazing weekend getaways in California. Today I will focus specifically on Santa Barbara, as I am just on my Santa Barbara Getaway now and I will also discuss what does a Santa Barbara Getaway look like for me and what are the Things To Do In Santa Barbara During  The COVID.

So let’s dive into this beautiful explanation!

Where is Santa Barbara?

You might think of beautiful beaches and nature resources when you first hear of Santa Barbara. Well, it has beautiful beach life but this place has way more interesting things to offer.

Santa Barbara is about 40 minutes drive north from Los Angeles. And the two reasons why I mention Los Angeles here, because first of all I live in L.A and secondly, Santa Barbara was the L.A in the early 1920s. Charlie Chaplin often had his silent movie shooting in this area. Santa Barbara also has a strong spanish influence which is visible in every corner if you go to the place.(1.)

Santa Barbara is also famous for its college life as there is a campu of University of California.

5 Things To Do In Santa Barbara During The Covid

1.Beach Yoga

What is a better way to start your day than by doing yoga in the morning? Well more like during the daytime, since this yoga class takes place between 10.30 am and 11.30 at Santa Barbara Beach close to Corona Del Mar and the Motel 6.

2.Harbor Sushi

A great way to carry on with your day is by taking a wonderful walk at the harbor nearby and enjoying your meal from Sushi Go Go. 

Bear in mind it is not just an average harbor, because there is also a beautiful beach and when the tide is high there are opportunities to surf too.

3.Park Fitness

Doing my bodyweight fitness routine in the afternoon at Recreation Park (close to Motel 6) is one of my favorite things. There are also treadmills and exercise bars available for free there.

At the end you can do your cool down session under this nice palm tree.

4.Lobster pasta on the pier 

The pier is very close to the motels and hotels in Santa Barbara therefore you should definitely have your lunch one day there.

The Santa Barbara Shellfish company offers quite delicious lobster pasta there or you can order lobster tacos for taking away from Flor de Mar and consume them on the pier.

5.Surfing or Surfwatch

If you are into surfing or the beach&rock vibes then you should definitely go to Mesa Lane because there is an amazing beach for surfers and surfwatch down the lane. 

The surfer community is also pretty cool, as they are very friendly, energetic, and inspiring.

So I hope you enjoyed reading about the best things to do in Santa Barbara during the pandemic and I also hope you will as much enjoy doing them as reading about them.

Have a Nice Trip!
