What You Didn’t Know About State Street

Santa Barbara’s main street, State Street, has been an incredibly popular destination for clientele for years. Founded in 1850, State Street became early on a famous landmark not only for the city itself, but for the entire West Coast. In fact, this particular street was for long the biggest continuos paving on the West Coast! The street cuts through the downtown and is connected to Highway 101 in the north, while the famous pier is an extension of its southern end. People have for decades booked luxury transportation from us to State Street to stroll the beautiful street with its many restaurants, shops, art displays and museums. Its a fairly walking-friendly street, but the city also has its own waterfront shuttle that runs up and down State Street every day. Being the primary commercial street in town, this gorgeous boulevard also offers some exceptional shopping opportunities. Here you will discover all types of major retailers, such as Abercrombie & Fitch, American Apparel, Apple, H&M, Macy’s, Old Navy, Radio Shack, Urban Outfitters, Volcom, Vans, and numerous other famous retail shops and minor neighborhood stores.
