Transportation
The nearest airport to Santa-Barbara is Santa Barbara (SBA) Airport which is 8 miles away. Other nearby airports include Burbank (BUR) (78.9 miles), Los Angeles (LAX) (81.2 miles).
The scenic route via Amtrak is another option! Santa Barbara is served by two Amtrak train routes, the Pacific Surfliner and Coast Starlight. The Pacific Surfliner hugs the southern California coast - so pretty!
Lastly, you can drive if you are local to California. It is roughly a 5 hour drive from San Francisco and there are many fun detours along the way.. Monterey, Big Sur, Santa Cruz to name a few. From Los Angeles the drive is roughly a 1.5-2 hour scenic drive.
