Central Coast Beach Wedding & Honeymoon Guide

The southern part of the Central Coast includes Santa Barbara which is a beachside resort rich in Spanish heritage with cobblestone pathways, red tile roofs and distinctive architecture. With long sweeping beaches and the landmark wharf Santa Barbara has long been a popular destination for weddings. The further north you travel the more rugged and spectacular the coastline becomes.
