Coast Village Inn

There is not a huge amount of things to do in SB but anything you do outside is likely to be enjoyable. Walk down State street and people-watch...so many healthy, good looking people. The Botanical gardens, art museum, beaches, parks are all very nice. It's generally very safe and crime-free for California.Driving north on the 101 from LA there is a point where the highway hugs the mountains and the ocean and you can feel you have finally escaped Los Angeles. Sometimes when I return from out of town I am aware of how nice the air feels here, particularly around sunset.
