Santa Barbara Accommodations
There is a wide variety of Santa Barbara accommodations available for a California beach vacation, from hotels and motels to inns and resorts.
For Santa Barbara bed and breakfast inns, click here.
The following Santa Barbara accommodations list is sorted according to the area of town each hotel is located in. The oceanfront hotels are of course more expensive and desirable. The downtown hotels are fairly close to the beach, the wharf, shopping and dining.
The trolley car shuttle goes along the waterfront (Cabrillo Blvd.) and up State Street from Stearn’s Wharf through town, so if you want to leave the car at the hotel or at home, this is an easy and pleasurable option for getting around.

The midtown hotels are in a quieter, more residential area. This is where most of the bed and breakfasts are located. Goleta is to the north, near the University of California at Santa Barbara. Montecito is the exquisite area just to the southeast of town.

Most Santa Barbara accommodations fill up in summer, so try to plan your beach vacation well in advance. Still, it is a beautiful place to visit year round and has many things to see and do other than the beach.
