A HOP SKIP AND A JUMP WEEKENDERS NOW ALLOW FOR MAXIMUM RELAXATION AT THESE NEARBY RETREATS

ith the reopening of the travel industry, I find myself incapable of staying in a single location for extended periods, fearing that in an instant I may be disallowed from exploring wherever my heart desires. Yet, I have developed an immense appreciation for the local haunts that provide convenient, convalescent escape within a hop, skip, and a jump. These gems adjacent to Santa Barbara celebrate the unique landscape and culture of Southern California, as well as their surrounding regions, sweeping me away from the mundanity of the day-to-day without sweeping me too far.
