Beach Playgrounds & Swings
Santa Barbara Family Vacations are extremely popular, serving
not only the world audience but also two urban centers, Southern
and Northern California. With more playgrounds at
the beach, a state-of-the art skate park and even a carousel at
the beach to ride on, how lucky can children be when family
members take them on a Santa Barbara vacation? Santa Barbara has
consistently ranked as one of the top US beach destinations and
for many reasons. You can take the kids and have fun. For family
and kid vacations, that's the number one goal, along with
numbers two and three--not spending too much money and being
able to get there easily.
What's great
about this Mediterranean beach town is the weather, activities
and hotels made for families on vacation. Many of the hotels
overlook the beach or are situated down neighborhood streets
running parallel to the beach or State Street, the most exciting
shopping and attraction street in all of Santa Barbara.
If you pick
hotels at the beach, you always have that ocean beckoning from
your room. The breezes in the afternoon spread an intoxicating
fragrance of the sea throughout the city. That's one of the
reasons celebrities have chosen this destination not far from
Hollywood (approx. 1 hour and 20 minutes by car), to buy
additional getaway properties where they can share the joy and
splendor of the beautiful coastline, weather, attractions and
events, in their relaxing moments away from the hustle and
bustle of Los Angeles.
For families
with kids, there's a zoo, history museum, art museum, stagecoach
museum, mission, botanical gardens and tons of sand to play in.
There are kids restaurants they love such as McDonalds, there
are surrey bikes for rent at the beach and so many opportunities
to explore as a family, if you've never experienced the Santa
Barbara family vacation, add it to your list. Since those going
on beach trips are more inclined to take the family and stay a
bit longer on beach vacations (according to tourism statistics),
it makes sense that this popular beach destination is totally
geared to the family and kid vacations.
