This is a great idea for a sunny oceanside picnic in the Mesa/downtown/beachfront area of Santa Barbara. Head to Lazy Acres market on the mesa - they have a huge selection of healthy, organic, vegetarian/vegan, and worldly food that is ready to eat. Pick up a few to-go plates from the hot food station or the salad bar, and a nice bottle of cold white wine. I also highly recommend the Raw Vegan Cheesecake, which they sell by the slice in a variety of flavors. It is ridiculously delicious and it's made entirely of raw nuts and fruit (I have no idea how they do it). After you've picked out your picnic supplies, throw them in a canvas tote and walk down Shoreline Drive to the harbor (its about 2 miles - it also makes a great bike ride) and walk out onto the Breakwater. You can sit up on the platform handrail and enjoy your meal and wine in front of the best oceanside view in the city. It is amazing at sunset.
