Workation in Santa Barbara: the essentials
An earthquake in 1925 gave Santa Barbara its look, as downtown was rebuilt in the white walls and red tile of Spanish Colonial Revival. The city of about 89,000 sits on a rare south-facing stretch of Pacific coastline beneath the steep Santa Ynez Mountains, which explains its nickname, the American Riviera. State Street and the tasting rooms of the Funk Zone near the beach carry the social life, UC Santa Barbara lies to the west, and surfing and hiking are part of the daily routine. Housing is in very short supply, coworking choice is small and wildfires are a recurring threat on the slopes. Santa Barbara Municipal Airport is about 13 km from downtown, and Pacific Surfliner trains run to Los Angeles.
