Visiting UC Santa Barbara

Nestled on a narrow shelf between the ruggedly beautiful Santa Ynez Mountains and a lovely stretch of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Barbara is famous around the world for its breathtaking beauty as the American Riviera. It boasts one of the most pleasant year-round climates in the United States.

UCSB is located a few minutes north of the city of Santa Barbara, only 92 miles north of Los Angeles. With the recently improved Santa Barbara Airport (SBA) just next door to the campus, UCSB is easy to reach by air.
