Comments about arriving and departing |
Parking is $20+ at both
FBO's. They wave the fee with a fuel purchase. It's cheaper
to pay the fee. |

10 being best, 5 being average. |

Santa Barbara Airport
- Two FBO's, two places to eat. |
|
Santa Barbara for Lunch or Dinner. As I see it
you have two choices, unless you rent a car.
- Park at Signature for $20+ and walk
though the hanger and across the driveway to the Elephant Bar.
The place really packs them in for Sunday Brunch so try to avoid
the rush. Signature is on the far north east corner of the
airport.
- Park at Atlantic for $20+ and walk south
down the bike trail, across the foot bridge, turn left at the Y
and towards the pier. At the base of the pier there is a
place called The Beachside. It's about a 1/2 mile. Atlantic is on the
south southeast
side of the airport.
Runway 7/25 separates the FBO's and
restaurants so you need to have a plan before you land. The Elephant
Bar is very good and the menu is unique but my first choice would be
The Beachside Cafe.
