Will Badart<\/span><\/h4>\n

Santa Barbara, California is a quiet beach town and tech hub, surfer\u2019s paradise, and hiker\u2019s delight. This Central Coast city is many things to many people, but above all else, Santa Barbara is my top recommendation for a campervan adventure between Escape\u2019s <\/span>Los Angeles<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>San Francisco<\/span><\/a> rental locations.<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve talked before about camping and hiking in and around Santa Barbara, in a previously published <\/span>blog<\/span><\/a> post.

Beaches That Are Perfect For A Campervan Adventure<\/span><\/h2>\n

Santa Barbara County is home to miles upon miles of world-class beaches. If you\u2019re approaching from the north, consider <\/span>El Capitan State Beach<\/span><\/i> as your first stop. The park\u2019s campgrounds feature spots that can accommodate a van, and include shady wooded areas where you can take breaks from your sunbathing.<\/span><\/p>\n

For an approach from the south, consider <\/span>Rincon Beach<\/span><\/i>. Halfway between Ventura and Santa Barbara, Rincon beach features miles of RV and van parking and some of the best surfing on the Central Coast (though beginners to the sport should read on as the high surf and rocky shore at Rincon make for risky learning conditions). <\/span><\/p>\n

Between Ventura and Santa Barbara, you\u2019ll also find <\/span>Carpinteria<\/span><\/i>, a small beach town with a charming main drag and miles of not-too-crowded, warm, sandy beaches. (Craft beer geeks: check out Carpinteria\u2019s <\/span>Island Brewing Company<\/span><\/i>. I personally recommend the Avocado Honey Ale!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Once in Santa Barbara proper, your options only increase. In the dead center of Santa Barbara\u2019s waterline sits the Pier, with East Beach to one side and West Beach to the other. Both are very wide, even at high tide, and feature beach volleyball courts, bike paths, van-sized parking spaces, and views of boats coming in and out of the harbor (especially West Beach).<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":33810,"id":33810,"title":"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA","filename":"goleta.jpg","filesize":206285,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/it\/olympus-digital-camera-42-2\/","alt":"View of the beach on a campervan adventure","author":"53","description":"","caption":"OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA","name":"olympus-digital-camera-42-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2022-06-09 20:21:11","modified":"2022-06-09 21:04:38","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1440,"height":1080,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-150x150.jpg","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-300x225.jpg","medium-width":300,"medium-height":225,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-768x576.jpg","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":576,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-1024x768.jpg","large-width":1024,"large-height":768,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","1536x1536-width":1440,"1536x1536-height":1080,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","2048x2048-width":1440,"2048x2048-height":1080,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-600x353.jpg","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta-1200x900.jpg","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":900,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":225,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":300,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/goleta.jpg","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":450}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Head West For Some Other Family-Friendly Beaches<\/span><\/h2>\n

Continuing west, you have <\/span>Leadbetter Beach<\/span><\/i>, <\/span>Shoreline Park<\/span><\/i>, and <\/span>1000 Steps Beach<\/span><\/i>. 1000 Steps Beach is notable for its winding staircase from the street up on the Mesa down to the water (though I\u2019ve climbed it, and don\u2019t think it\u2019s quite 1000 steps). While you\u2019re up on the Mesa, be sure to plan a picnic at <\/span>La Mesa Park<\/span><\/i>, a popular spot for families in the Mesa neighborhood known for its epic ocean vista. Catch a sunset from here if you can!<\/span><\/p>\n

On the other side of the Mesa from downtown, you\u2019ll find <\/span>Arroyo Burro Beach<\/span><\/i>. Dog owners (and lovers) take note: the east half of Arroyo Burro is a <\/span>very<\/span><\/i> popular off-leash dog beach. Arroyo Burro also features usually-calm surf for boogie boarders and surfers alike, as well as the <\/span>Boathouse<\/span><\/i> restaurant. While parking is fairly easy during the week, be prepared to either arrive early or walk from the adjacent neighborhood Friday through Sunday. I guarantee yours will be far from the only converted van you see at Arroyo Burro!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you find the beaches in town too crowded for your liking, try <\/span>Goleta Beach Park<\/span><\/i>. Located just down the hill from UCSB, Goleta Beach is a popular surf spot for students, but you can often have the place to yourself during the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":{"ID":33280,"id":33280,"title":"EscapeCamperVans_6761","filename":"EscapeCamperVans_6761.png","filesize":1490687,"url":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761.png","link":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/it\/escapecampervans_6761-2\/","alt":"Kitchen of a campervan","author":"52","description":"","caption":"","name":"escapecampervans_6761-2","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":0,"date":"2022-03-08 20:28:42","modified":"2022-06-09 21:05:18","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/png","type":"image","subtype":"png","icon":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":2560,"height":1707,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-150x150.png","thumbnail-width":150,"thumbnail-height":150,"medium":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-300x200.png","medium-width":300,"medium-height":200,"medium_large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-768x512.png","medium_large-width":768,"medium_large-height":512,"large":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-1024x683.png","large-width":1024,"large-height":683,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-1536x1024.png","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":1024,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-2048x1365.png","2048x2048-width":2048,"2048x2048-height":1365,"blog-preview":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-600x353.png","blog-preview-width":600,"blog-preview-height":353,"post-thumbnail":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761-1200x800.png","post-thumbnail-width":1200,"post-thumbnail-height":800,"gform-image-choice-sm":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761.png","gform-image-choice-sm-width":300,"gform-image-choice-sm-height":200,"gform-image-choice-md":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761.png","gform-image-choice-md-width":400,"gform-image-choice-md-height":267,"gform-image-choice-lg":"https:\/\/escapecampervans.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/EscapeCamperVans_6761.png","gform-image-choice-lg-width":600,"gform-image-choice-lg-height":400}},"image_link":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"text","text":"

Places To Eat During Your Campervan Adventure<\/span><\/h2>\n

To feed yourself during these long days at the beach, make sure to pack your fishing pole. Or, consider one of these local favorites:<\/span><\/p>\n

For fast-casual burgers, you can\u2019t go wrong with Santa Barbara\u2019s own <\/span>The Habit<\/span><\/i>. This small chain has delicious standard burger fare, as well as some interesting sides like sweet potato fries and fried green beans (with ranch, of course). If you go to the State Street location, you\u2019re just a couple of doors up from another Santa Barbara staple, <\/span>McConnel\u2019s Ice Cream<\/span><\/i>.

For Mexican, close your eyes, walk 100 paces, and chances are good you\u2019ll find yourself at a fantastic, authentic Mexican joint. Which is to say, you have a lot of options.

Split the difference, and you\u2019re at <\/span>East Beach Tacos<\/span><\/i>, a personal favorite. This walk-up taco stand is adjacent to a batting cage facility and features specials like \u201cThe Triple Play:\u201d mix and match three different tacos for under $10.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, if you\u2019ve got a van full of people with different tastes, head up to the <\/span>Santa Barbara Public Market<\/span><\/i>. This upscale food court features sushi, tacos, Korean fusion, one of the best sports bars in town, and more.<\/span><\/p>\n

Another historic site offering unique views of the town and ocean is the <\/span>Courthouse<\/span><\/i>. Yes, it is an active place of law, but there\u2019s public access to old courtrooms with murals of California\u2019s history, and the clock tower, inside of which you can see the workings of the giant clock, and atop which you can see all of downtown for 360 degrees.<\/span><\/p>\n

Santa Barbara is also home to an extensive zoo, situated practically across the street from East Beach. The parks surrounding it are equally expansive, providing ample space for picnics, slacklining, or just lounging in the sun.<\/span><\/p>\n

Finally, if the sea is calling you, consider sailing out to the <\/span>Channel Islands<\/span><\/i>. Numerous companies in and around town offer chartered rides out to each island. The camping and hiking scene on Santa Cruz island is sure to appeal to you van dwellers, though you\u2019ll need to leave the van behind for this excursion.<\/span><\/p>\n
