What do you want from a romantic getaway? Isn’t it merely being together and sharing in activities? Whether your relationship is in its early stages, or you’ve been together for decades, here are some great and varied activities that you can enjoy together.
West Beach – A Sunset or Sunrise
It probably doesn’t get much more romantic than being on the beach watching the sunset. If you were going to West Beach, just a short walk from The Eagle Inn, you will be thrilled with the oranges, reds, and yellows against a background of fading blue. Plus, since the beach faces southeast, it’s also possible to view the sunrise bringing in a new day that you will share with each other. As you huddle on the beach, the scent of fresh ocean mist coming off the incoming waves is invigorating. It’s a great way to start the day.
Stearns Wharf
If you prefer an indoor setting or want to have wine with your companion, Stearns Wharf is the right choice for a sunset. Several restaurants will cater to your desires. You’ll have the same view, but with amenities to share.
Wildlife Interests
Going whale watching together is an exciting adventure that you will enjoy. But if you don’t want to be with other people on your getaway, you can spot whales at Shoreline Park at the bronze whale statue. Alice Keck Park Memorial Gardens will put you in place to see turtles sunning, Koi swimming in ponds, and beautiful flowers. During the fall and winter months, check out the Ellwood area north of Goleta. Can you picture 100,000 monarch butterflies? They are a symbol of hope, joy, and new beginnings. The experience will have a positive effect on you.

You can just be you, and really get to know the other person – not to mention the fact that it’s great exercise. Santa Barbara is surrounded by plenty of hiking trails. You’ll find that it’s a great way to enjoy the sun, the great outdoors, and each other.
Kayaking the Santa Barbara Harbor
Santa Barbara Adventure Company has tours of various lengths with spectacular views of the city and beaches. Marine animal and bird life, as well as an incredible amount of plant life, is there to absorb. And you might spot a sea lion or have a dolphin as your escort. Wouldn’t that be exciting? The two of you kayaking for the day will be a fun and memorable excursion.
Wine Country
Don’t forget that this is wine country! Give your taste buds the go-ahead to sip and savor what’s here. Wine tasting with someone special makes that glass of vintage wine even more special. Choose your own choice of wineries or sign up for a tour.
