As for things to do, this UCSB Gaucho recommends:

Visit the SB mission, Queen of the Missions

Drive over the hill to the Santa Inez Valley for wine tasting (re Sideways) Solvang is touristy, but I like it. Drop in at the Cold Spring Tavern on the way back and have a beer with a Hell's Angel.

The SB museum of natural history and the zoo are both small, but pleasant.

Just walk up and down State Street, and on down to Stearn's Wharf.

Hang out on the beaches and ogle the coeds.

Go up to Camino Cielo Road for the sunset. We used to do it on shrooms. Good times.
