The Pacific Ocean and California Coast are beautiful. The water is a bluer color than I am used to seeing. There are so many fun towns along California's coast. Santa Barbara is one of them. The beach area is just brimming with things to do, places to eat and shops. The architecture is more Spanish and blends with the mountains. While there we went to Ventura to catch the boat to the Channel Islands. We didn't get off the ship but the National Park extends to the water so we were in the park.
