Coast Village Road

Arguably one of the area's most chic addresses, this stretch of Montecito is home to a variety of top-notch shops and restaurants. If it's upscale and desirable, you're likely to find it here, along with the well-heeled clientele you'd expect. Gourmet foodstuffs, designer clothing, hip home accessories, art galleries, antique shops and plenty of trendy cafes and restaurants line the road. This is the place to go if you're looking to spoil yourself or a special someone. Parking is free but can be hard to find on the weekends. Celebrity sightings are not uncommon, but keep your cool. Remember: they're probably locals and you're on their turf!
