Familiar big-name stores stand alongside delightful local boutiques in Santa Barbara. Most of the city's shopping is clustered in convenient pedestrian-friendly malls, open-air shopping centers, and palm-lined paseos. Parking lots are plentiful downtown and the first 75 minutes are free.
The State Street corridor is the heart of downtown shopping, promising a full day of rewarding browsing and buying through the eclectic mix of shops.
