what is not to love? something for everyone - from small boutiques to Macy's and from small (devine!) pastry shops to large resturants.

We loved walking up and down this street with its mix of restaurants, shops, malls. When you park in one of the many parking lots, you get 75 minutes free and then its $1.50 per hour, no issues with that.

Take a walk on State street, starting at the pier. You'll find interesting shops--many one of a kind--some chains. Lots of restaurants. The street is lined with trees and benches. Very pretty. If you get tired, take the trolley. It's 25 cents for seniors.

This is my third visit to State Street. I really enjoy all the little shops and restaurants. It is best to visit during the weekday as late in the evening and on weekends it gets a little crazy and crowded. Put on your strolling shoes and take the electric trolley.

Strolling along downtown State Street is really enjoyable for me. Whether it is for window shopping, shopping, eating, coffee, ice cream, or just walking, State Street I'm Santa Barbara is the place to be.

It's a great walk between stores and little malls. The nice thing about it, is that there are still many mom-and-pop stores amongst the big brand names. Great places to eat and parking is not too hard to find.
