If arriving by car, be aware that there is only one major highway in or out of Santa Barbara, US 101; downtown Santa Barbara can be accessed via the Garden St. exit, while the beaches can be found off the Cabrillo Blvd. off ramp. Traffic patterns here are almost the complete opposite from the famous Los Angeles grid lock as the 101 can come to a grinding halt on Sunday afternoons.
