All at Sea in Santa Barbara

It was a very long swim to shore!

 

Santa Barbara, was the only place the ship could not dock, so we had to use tenders to get into the city.

 

Santa Barbara was Home to the World’s First Motel

 

The world’s first-ever motel (a "motor hotel") was built in Santa Barbara in 1925. It was called the Milestone Mo-Tel and was located on what is now State Street. At the time, a night’s stay cost just $1.25!

 

And It was once an Island

 

Millions of years ago, Santa Barbara wasn’t connected to mainland California. It was actually a separate island before tectonic movements pushed it into the continent. This geological history is why the Santa Barbara area has unique soil and rock formations.
