Embark on the Santa Barbara Audio Tour: Science, Surf, and Stories at UCSB

A library built leagues from the nearest city. A clock tower rising defiantly against Pacific winds. Santa Barbara’s sunlit calm hides secrets that shaped campuses and coastlines alike.

This self-guided audio tour leads you down winding paths and sun-drenched beaches, unlocking stories most travelers never hear. Move between the University of California’s academic alcoves and the salty freedom of Goleta Beach with only your curiosity as a compass.

Why did Storke Tower become the epicenter of student upheaval overnight? What hidden event at the library whispers of forbidden manuscripts? And just who left their mark on the sand beneath the cliffs in the middle of a moonless night?

Drift farther than the eye can see with every step. Untangle tales of rebellion, rivalry, lost genius, and love found by the ocean’s edge.

Turn your visit into a journey of discovery the moment you press play. Santa Barbara is waiting to reveal its hidden chapters.
