Leadbetter Beach (also Ledbetter Beach) is a popular beach in Santa Barbara, California, situated below Leadbetter Hill. It is easily accessible from the Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) and the marina, and has light surf which is acceptable for learners. Because of the small surf and consistent winds, it is also a popular location for kitesurfers and windsurfers during the summer, when the wind is consistent. Of all the beaches in the city, this is one of the most frequently visited. Leadbetter is an artificial beach, built by accident. When Santa Barbara Harbor was built, it blocked the downshore current, holding up the natural sand flow. The college is built on the original coastline's front cliffs, now about 30 yards off-shore; the original beach front lies where the current SBCC football field is located. The blocking of sand from downshore cities prompted several lawsuits against Santa Barbara.

Because of its proximity to the ocean, the stadium is under the jurisdiction of the California Coastal Commission.The stadium was also used as the football home stadium for the University of California, Santa Barbara from the days when it was known as Santa Barbara State College starting with the 1938 football season, and served that role until the 1965 season. Many of the Gauchos' games came against nearby rival Cal Poly. UCSB played their last game in the stadium against the Santa Clara University Broncos on October 30, 1965. The home venue was displaced by the on-campus Campus Stadium, which was later renamed Harder Stadium.

It is the site where John Uelses cleared the first 16-foot pole vault outdoors, on March 31, 1962. See the Video on YouTube. It is also where Dallas Long set his first of seven world records in the shot put. It was the site of the women's division of the 1967 USA Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Barbara Ferrell equaled the world record in the 100 meters; 11.1 (+0.3), at that championship, which would last until Wyomia Tyus broke it in the Olympic final, at altitude in Mexico City.

The Hastings adobe also called the Trussell-Winchester adobe is a California Historical Landmark in Santa Barbara, California. The house is one of the oldest in Santa Barbara, built in 1854. The adobe became a California State Historical Landmark No. 559 on December 31, 1956. The house is located at 414 West Montecito Street. The house was built by Horatio Gates Trussell (1814-1880) came to California from Maine. Trussell has sailed the seas from his youth and rose to be the captain of his own ship. On his trip to Santa Barbara, he fell in love with the city and Ramona Eayrs-Burke. He married Ramona on September 1, 1851. Isaac Sparks (1804–1867), Ramona's stepfather a merchant and rancher in the city deed the land for their new home. Trussell built the adobe brick and wood house near the present-day corner of West Montecito and Castillo streets. Rather than use the local custom of a Spanish tile roof, it had New England type wooden shingles. Trussell was able to get some of the timber needed from the shipwrecked SS Winfield Scott that sank off Anacapa Island in 1853. The Trussell family had 10 children and later built a two-story house a few blocks away. A local banker, William M. Eddy, from New York in 1849, purchased the house in 1878 and sold it to Uriah Winchester (1814- 1897) in 1882. Winchester also had come to California from Maine in 1869. Winchester made changes to the house, adding a room and enlarging others. Winchester family had six children. Two: Robert (1845-1932) became a doctor; Charlotte (1850-1942) married Stanley Bagg (1856-1931), who owned the famous The Tombstone Epitaph newspaper in Arizona from 1891 till 1895. Winchester family started to sell off parts of the lot in the 1920s. Charlotte's daughter, Katherine Bagg (1877-1955), married John Hastings. When Katherine died in 1955, with no children, the house was given to the Santa Barbara Historical Society per her will. California State Historical Landmark reads: NO. 559 HASTINGS ADOBE - Built in 1854 by Captain Horatio Gates Trussell of Orland, Maine, the adobe is partly constructed of material from the wreck of the S.S. Winfield Scott on Anacapa Island. The Winchesters acquired the adobe in 1882 and Katherine Bagg Hastings, niece of Miss Sarah Winchester, bequeathed it to the Santa Barbara Historical Society in 1935.

Sambo's was an American restaurant chain, started in 1957 by Sam Battistone Sr. and Newell Bohnett in Santa Barbara, California. Though the name was taken from portions of the names of its two founders, the chain also associated with The Story of Little Black Sambo. Battistone and Bohnett capitalized on this connection by decorating the walls of the restaurants with scenes from the book, including a dark-skinned boy, tigers, and a pale, magical unicycle-riding man called "The Treefriend". By the early 1960s, the illustrations depicted a light-skinned boy wearing a jeweled Indian-style turban with the tigers. A kids club, Sambo's Tiger Tamers (later called the Tiger Club), promoted the chain's family image. The chain filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in November 1981. All locations except for the first in Santa Barbara either closed outright, or were renamed after being purchased, effectively ending the chain's existence. The Santa Barbara restaurant continued business under the Sambo's name until 2020, when it was renamed to Chad's after its owner at the time, Chad Stevens. The George Floyd protests against racism in the United States resulted in the owner of the restaurant changing the name of the establishment.
