Things to do in Summerland
You can’t visit this classic, two-exit town without stopping by its main street, Ortega Hill Road. Hop between boutiques, grab a bite at a quaint café or peruse some of the best antiques in the country. After strolling through main street, relax with a glass of wine grown locally in the Santa Ynez Valley. Of course, soak up some of that California sunshine at the beach below Lookout Park, while biking along the coast, or hiking through Toro Canyon Park. Better yet, take a memorable horseback ride along the beach! The beach is dog friendly so you don’t have to worry about leaving your furry family at home. They’ll love digging their paws into the sand as much as you do!
