Although I live in Pasadena, I drive up to Santa Barbara almost every month just to visit all of the attractions they have to offer. I just love Santa Barbara. One of the main reasons I come to Santa Barbara is to have a double scoop of ice cream on a sugar cone from The Great Pacific Ice Cream Company. The only problems about their ice cream is it melts too fast (only after a minute) and it is expensive. But you do pay for the quality of the ice cream and that unbeatable being-at-the-wharf experience.
