It’s a beautiful sunny beach city! Being near a college and being a young woman, assault and safety is always on the mind at night of course. But, besides that, I have lived here for years and have always felt safe to walk around alone
Posted: January 8, 2025Santa Barbara is a very touristy area, so generally pretty safe. Like everywhere in the world there are some more 'sketchy' areas, but I would never say that I have felt incredibly unsafe. There's good nightlife and many people (especially on state street) that will get involved if they see any kind of harassment.
