Locations

Santa Barbara County has stood in for somewhere else for more than a century — a mission courtyard, a big-sky ranch, a Pacific break, a western town. Every place listed here is a real address in the county, photographed on set and written up with the productions that filmed there, the jurisdiction that permits it, and what you need to know before you scout it. Browse by the look you are after: Spanish Tile, Chaparral Ranch, Beach Waves, Rockwell USA, Wine Country, Wild West, Majestic Nature and Regal Estates — or start with Studios & Stages if your shoot needs a sound stage or a production facility.
