The 10 Best Winter Sun Destinations in the USA

1.Santa Barbara, California

Just a couple hours north of LA, Santa Barbara is the perfect spot for a chill beach getaway or canyon hikes. It’s also a bit of a celebrity hotspot (we’re talking Prince Harry, Meghan Markle, J-Lo, and Oprah), but the real draw here is the laid-back beach-town vibe. You can stroll State Street for cute shops, gourmet food, and outdoor dining. Or head to West Beach where you can rent kayaks and paddleboards, or just enjoy a walk along Stearns Wharf. It’s beachy, it’s beautiful, and it’s always sunny.
