Really, you can drive right on to the pier (costs $2.50 per hour, first three hours free with validation).My mom treated us to the SB Red Trolley tour.<\/p><\/div>\n<p>My mom treated us to the Santa Barbara Red Trolley Tour. It cost most people $19 and has several stops in Santa Barbara. I say it costs most people $19, but my mom has no fear in talking in a discount. If the trolley tour is too expensive you can always ride the shuttle around downtown for .25 cents.<\/p>\n<p><a
