Stunning Sights!

I love Lotusland, truly. It is a very pleasant place to be if you enjoy botany and flowers. It is nestled in Montecito and a bit of a challenge to find but once you do you'll never forget. I recommend getting a tour guide too, they are incredibly helpful and they really are full of good information about the gardens and all the flowers! A friend recommended I go to Lotusland while I was in town and I am so glad I did! I really enjoyed it! I liked that it was close to my hotel too! The Sandman Inn (www.thesandmaninn.com). So affordable and in the best possible location; close to everything fun in town!

Beyond words, the most intriguing place in Santa Barbara, at least for me. I am such a sucker for long walks and exotic flowers. Located in Montecito ( 5minute drive from Santa Barbara), it is hidden beneath the trees and is a experience every time you visit. While I spend my time engrossed in the terrific scenery I don't exactly leave much of anything for anything else, that is why I LOVE staying at The South Coast Inn (http://www.santa-barbara-hotel.com/). Just outside of Santa Barbara, it allows you to get away from the everyday shuffle of urban life. This is the perfect place to stay if you're on a limited budget when pertaining to hotel options. Lotusland is graceful in every form, and every time I spend walking the different areas of it's quiet, serene park I truly get lost. Definitely recommend!
