Looking for the best lobster rolls in California? Take a trip to the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company.

This is a great spot with fast service and the best lobster rolls, seriously. It's a small restaurant, so the first thing to do when you get there is put your name on the sign in sheet. If they are seating outside it's usually outside by the front door. If it's too windy, it's inside the front door. The heaters outside do work really well, with a jacket, even in light wind. Once you're signed in, stay within earshot of the sign in list. They usually call more than once, but they will also cross your name off if you're just not there.

We've had the lobster rolls, coconut shrimp, fish tacos, and shrimp cocktail. They have good beer on tap too. This trip, we both had lobster rolls. Everything has been great, and even though the place is small and usually packed to the last minute we've never felt rushed.

Finding a place to stay near the beach can be tough in Santa Barbara. It's not cheap. The best bang for your buck is at the Marina Beach Motel. With fresh towels daily and a quiet nights rest, and still close enough to walk all over town, this is the place to be. Yeah you could go elsewhere and valet your car, but there was plenty of open parking literally right outside our door.

It took us just over 3 hours to drive from Irvine California to the Marina Beach Motel in Santa Barbara, which is walking distance from the beach. This was a Friday night in April but we left early just after 3 pm.

Wherever you’re coming from, we hope you have a great trip. Book a room early. We booked a couple weeks in advance and there wasn’t many choices.
