Santa Barbara, CA

Great Outdoors SBVC
Welcome to the Great Outdoors Santa Barbara Ventura County chapter! Our group is here to support engaging outings along the stunning California Southern Central Coast and beyond. When it comes to fun, we've got it – from camping trips to day hikes, backpacking adventures to whitewater rafting. Our all-volunteer organization comes up with different outings every year that appeal to a variety of interests. What about the Great Indoors? Definitely! Our chapter members plan movie nights, museum tours and other social gatherings where you can meet some fantastic people who share your love for the outdoors, even indoors... As our history is rooted in the LGBT community, our organization has provided safe spaces in nature for queer folks and allies since 1977. We encourage participation by outdoors enthusiasts of all genders and orientations to help continue this essential tradition! Now, logistics – when you become a member of GO, you'll have access to outings and activities from all chapters. Join in on a pool party in Palm Springs or a Pride parade in San Diego, no problem! Membership may be required for some events, but not all. So check out a day hike or a social gathering before you commit! We also encourage our membership to participate in the trip planning process. With educational trainings and resources available as a member, even you can become a trip leader! So why wait? Dive into the outdoors with us, explore the beauty of nature, and make lasting connections with fellow adventure seekers. Come join the fun!

Santa Barbara Adventure People

Santa Barbara, CA

Santa Barbara Adventure People

Welcome to Adventure People! This group is for everyone who loves to hike, kayak, rock climb, and anything that gets us outdoors. We have a great team of organizers who schedule local outdoor activities, social events, and weekend camping trips. We also do small group trips to destinations around the world. 

Some of the things we've done include watching the Northern Lights in Iceland, hiking the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, rappelling down waterfalls in Costa Rica, trekking on a glacier in Argentina, hiking the W Trek in Chile, climbing a volcano in Hawaii, visiting the country's national parks, exploring the world's most spectacular caves in Vietnam, salsa dancing lessons in Cuba, and that's just a few. 

Adventure People all have one thing in common, we want to travel the world and have fun doing it. We're explorers, not tourists. Regardless of where you go and what you do, it's the people you share the experience with that you'll remember the most. What you'll find in Adventure People is that we're a fun, active, adventurous, welcoming group of friends. By joining our community and participating in our local and international trips, you'll not only have a new group of friends but new travel companions with whom you'll want to share more experiences. That's why you'll always see repeat travelers on all of our trips!

If you're on Facebook, be sure to join our group here as well:

Welcome, we look forward to meeting you!

Santa Barbara Lesbian Group Meetup

Santa Barbara, CA

Santa Barbara Lesbian Group Meetup

Santa Barbara Lesbian Group Meetup 

Building a strong, more visible community one meetup at a time!

This lesbian group is for those in the Santa Barbara, Goleta, Carpinteria and nearby areas.  All ages are welcome, lesbian singles or lesbian couples, and bi/queer/trans women who love women!  There isn't a meetup group here unless you want to drive to Ventura/SLO or like going to large social events held by our local Pride foundation. So hopefully, this more casual group can be for recent arrivals and locals who want to meet new people, network professionally, expand your social circle or just have fun with like minded individuals.  We are the most active lesbian meetup scene in the central coast.  We socialize over happy hour, coffee/drinks, dining, hikes/beach, movies, music, art, games/sports, events, volunteering, and other fun unique/varied activities or entertainment that SB has to offer.  

We strive to make all new members feel welcome, so please don't be shy in attending our meetups.  Members are encouraged to suggest ideas for activities and host events on their own if willing.

This is a respectful easy going group promoting lesbian pride within the community.   To be considered as a member please take the time to create a friendly profile and use a current photo to confirm such things as gender and to actively participate in and contribute to the social aspect of the group. :)

All group content, activities, and  individual profiles  are private and visible  only to approved members. Individual members sharing group photos taken in events use their own discretion.
