Shopping in Santa Barbara is more than beautiful shops brimming with quality merchandise. The stores include national and international retailers, one-of-a-kind boutiques, art galleries, trendy hot spots, and outlets. But this gorgeous natural setting, permeated by ocean air and year-round sunshine, is part of the pleasure. So are the shop-lined cobbled walkways and paseos that meander into courtyards brilliant with bougainvillea and calmed by softly splashing fountains. Yes, shopping here is truly a sensory experience.
