Santa Barbara Area?

[brothwood]

Okay, I am working on a summercamp not far from Santa Barbara, and only a few minutes from the Pacific and next to the Los Padres National Forest. Now it sounds awesome to me, i just wanted to know if anybody lives or has visited said areas. I have only been to the East Coast of the States before, so Cali is new to me.

I will be working for 9 weeks, then freedom to travel afterwards so any suggestionw ould be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks in advance

I've only been to Santa Barbara a few times but it's a great college/beach town. The weather's great. I don't know about the surrounding areas you mentioned though. Hope that helps a little.

I've lived here for 10 years. What do you want to know?

thanks Jennasia, well I was just wondering what type of things there are to do in the town. any activities, sites etc, i'm working in Ojai for around 11 weeks, then spending a week in Santa Barbara, the twon itself, before I somehow have to make my way back to New York for my flight
