Entertainment & Activities
If you're visiting to check out the college scene, or what UCSB/SBCC will be like, make sure to walk down Del Playa Dr (call it DP, or you'll be labeled an out of towner, pro tip). It's similar to a street carnival, in that theres hundreds of college kids walking up and down going to friends apartments to play beer die, dance to loud music, or have a kickback. If you're thinking of driving down DP, I would advise you to reconsider, since it gets extremely packed with the walking college students on Friday and Saturday nights.
