For those traveling by air
Flying into LAX may be a more flexible and likely cheaper alternative to SBA, and if you plan on arriving early on Thursday or Friday this may be the best option. Although LAX is roughly 90 miles south of El Capitan Canyon Resort, a Friday afternoon drive from LAX to Santa Barbara could take up to three hours or more whereas a Sunday morning drive to LAX would probably take less than 2 hours.
