There are at least two spots in the Marina where you can rent SUPs right on the water. Fun to cruise the Marina and some small waves if you go to the Breakwater Point.

Why go to Napa's wine country when you have this beautiful Santa Ynez valley 40 minutes away. Loads of interesting wineries, blueberry picking and more. Why not rent an e-bike while you're there?

Just go for a meal or a drink and enjoy walking the grounds. About 20 minutes away. Just remember it's a Ritz, so expect prices to correspond accordingly.

Essentials/Groceries

Not our finest but will do when you need something close by. We also have too small markets in the Upper Village of Montecito. Both high end and priced accordingly. Trader Joes is only 10 minutes away and a Farmer's Market-Like grocery store that I like I on Milpas street (also 10 minutes away) called Tri-County Produce.
