Santa Barbara Coastal Roads Bike Tour

Cruise along coastal roads

Cruise the coastal roads around Santa Barbara and venture out towards Montecito, Summerland, and Carpinteria for a veritable feast of views and adventure on this road bike tour. This guided tour includes bike rental and will be led by an experienced local who knows the best routes along the California coastline. You'll set the pace on this private bike tour so you can pack in as much as you like or take it easy in true Californian spirit.

Depending on your speed and preferences your guide will plan the perfect route. Perhaps you'll enjoy some gentle hill climbs as you head towards Montecito, a neighborhood that lies just east of Santa Barbara and enjoys a sophisticated array of shops, upscale restaurants, and show-stopping homes. However, the real star of Montecito is the natural beauty of the area. Close to the foothills of the Santa Ynez mountains and overlooking sandy bays along the Pacific's shore, stopping here on your bicycle tour will prove that there really are few better vantage points in California.

Perhaps you cycle towards Summerland, an area that is just as idyllic as its name suggests. This small gem of a town hosts a few boutiques and independent restaurants along its main street. However, the big draw on this trip is the splendid natural surroundings. Cycle under eucalyptus tree-lined streets, past Lookout Park, before arriving at views of a splendid, sandy beach.

Alternatively, your bicycle tour could take you to Carpinteria. This seaside town draws sunbathers, swimmers, and surfers to enjoy its golden beaches, and offers cyclists scores of scenic paths to explore. Your guide will lead you along the very best of them on this day tour, allowing you to relax in your sightseeing saddle and immerse yourself in southern California's scenic serenity.
