Monterey Bay
Santa Barbara Clubs: Not exactly one of those glitzed out Santa Barbara clubs, rather it is more of a low key fun local hangout spot with ping pong, billiards, buckhunter and other Santa Barbara things to do. Visit http://www.theneighborhoodbar.com/
Monterey Bay is a beautiful and marine-rich area that straddles the border between the rugged Central Coast and the Bay Area regions of California. Once the capital of Spanish California, the area was immortalized by the works of novelist John Steinbeck.
