Santa Barbara: US-101 : Carrillo Street
Santa Barbara combines a relaxed coastal character with the pace of a major transport corridor in a way that reflects its position between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Ynez Mountains. US 101 follows the city’s southern side, connecting neighbourhoods along the California coast, while Carrillo Street leads toward the commercial core. Santa Barbara is strongly associated with Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, seen in the white stucco walls and red-tile roofs that shape much of its civic and commercial identity. Mission Santa Barbara, founded in 1786, remains one of California’s best-known Spanish missions. The city’s compact urban fabric sits between the shoreline and steep mountain slopes.

Santa Barbara lies along California’s south-facing Pacific coast, where the Santa Ynez Mountains rise behind the city and the Channel Islands lie offshore. The waterfront combines beaches, a harbor and Stearns Wharf, while State Street runs inland through the commercial core toward the foothills. The 1786 Old Mission Santa Barbara, founded by Franciscan missionaries, remains a central reference point for the city’s Spanish Colonial Revival identity; its 1925 earthquake prompted rebuilding that reinforced this architectural character. With the University of California, Santa Barbara nearby, the area also has a strong academic presence.

California occupies a long Pacific coastal belt in the United States. Its terrain ranges from the Sierra Nevada and the fertile Central Valley to deserts in the southeast and the rugged shores of the Pacific Ocean. The state includes both Mount Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, and extensive protected lands such as Yosemite National Park. California’s cities have exerted worldwide influence through film, technology, agriculture, and music; Hollywood remains an enduring symbol of the American screen industry. Its scale means climates and local character can change dramatically from one county to the next. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of California.

The Atlantic, Pacific and Gulf coasts define much of the United States — their ports, fisheries and trade routes have long tied the country’s economy to the wider world. Between them, the Rocky Mountains, Great Plains and Mississippi River basin form sharply different regions, from high western ranges to broad agricultural heartlands. Cities carry much of the national story: New York’s Statue of Liberty, a gift from France dedicated in 1886, remains an enduring symbol, while Washington, DC concentrates major federal institutions. Indigenous nations have shaped these lands for millennia, and their living cultures remain essential to the country’s identity.
