Circling below Shepard's Mesa are views of Santa Barbara, Carpenteria and the mountains.

The colored mints beckon at Robitaille's Candy Store! You can sample the official mints of the Reagan's second inauguration.

Campers and motorhomes are just steps from the carpenteria (carpenter's shop).

Biking on the tranquil mountain roads and bikepaths with the Santa Ynez mountains in the background.

Visitors who spend time in this peaceful seaside city, the Gateway to Santa Barbara, have a way of returning year after year.
