If you don’t feel like walking, take the yellow water taxi Lil’ Toot from Stearns Wharf to Santa Barbara Harbor. Hike to the ruins of Knapp’s Castle-a privately-owned landmark that was once an extravagant home. Check in at Pacifica Suites or La Playa Inn, and let the romantic adventures begin. There are plenty of beaches to visit and hidden gems you wouldn’t want to miss.
