Goleta Valley Chamber of Commerce - Visitors Information

There are several shopping areas located around the Goleta Valley - Calle Real, Fairview, Magnolia, Storke Road, Turnpike, The Plaza, Old Town Goleta and Camino Real Marketplace.

The South Coast may be almost as famous for its shopping as it is for its beaches. With everything from boutiques and big-box stores dotting southern Santa Barbara County, there is truly something for everyone here. Why put up with traffic on the 101 and the congestion of State Street, when every thing you need is available here in the Goleta Valley?

Fancy Pants
Michael Stars t-shirts, Red Engine jeans, and Isabella Fiore handbags line the walls of Betty Ann Denier's high-end fashion boutique. Located on Calle Real, Patty Montana, displays a casual elegance for all ages and tastes, garnering devotees from Santa Ynez to Montecito.
“Our philosophy is that everything goes back to jeans,” Denier said. “We work together as a team and listen to the customer to pull outfits together.” A designer jean Mecca, the store offers the latest styles from Big Star, David Kaun, Johnny Was, Billy Blues, and True Grit.
But Patty Montana is more than a demin depot, the fashionista staff can help you find the perfect accents. C&C t-shirts are a favorite, as are the variety of hobo handbags and fashion jewelry to accessorize any outfit. The store carries two-tone chiffon-silk scarves from local designer Caron Miller in any color you desire and jewelry from Santa Barbara Company, Jewel of the Sea. Heavenly-scented bath products and candles fill the back corner, lovely for a gift or guilty self-indulgence. Try the avocado-based Mediterranean Spa Company products from Rome, or a Renascent candle from Goleta-local Mike Horn. 5726 Calle Real, Goleta. (805)683-1816.

Voted the “Best Place to Buy Jewelry” by the Santa Barbara Independent Reader's Poll, The Jewelry Mart showcases icing for every age and budget. The old-fashioned jeweler is not just a place to buy the rocks, but also offers jewelry design and watch repair services. Co-owners Jon Hazeltine and Alejandro Cardenas have been in business for 14 years at the Goleta location, selling everything from Seiko watches to diamond engagement sets.

“We're an old-fashioned jewelry store with a little bit of everything. We have something for your nephew, your college student, and you grandmother,” Hazeltine said.

The store features diamonds, pearls, charms, 14-carat gold, Sterling silver, precious gemstones, and watch brands including Citizen, Seiko, and Fossil. Gemstones highlight the shop as their biggest seller with customers after high-quality diamonds, rubies, and sapphires. Many of the sparkling necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and rings are even produced in house by Hazeltine and Cardenas. The store just began selling contemporary Sterling silver and diamond line, Hot Diamond, which caters to a younger population. However, the high-quality jewelry doesn’t come with a high cost; The Jewelry Mart prides itself as a discounter jeweler, offering prices 30-50% below the retail price. 5850 Hollister Ave, Goleta. (805)683-6468

Camino Real Marketplace
Power shopping in the Goleta Valley is done at the Camino Real Marketplace. Whether you are looking for a New York Times best-selling book, or an industrial-sized package of plastic forks, running shoes, or RAM, the Marketplace is the perfect spot. With Big-Box shops like CostCo and Home Depot, a broad range of boutiques and eateries you can get all of your shopping done in one place and have a power lunch before you play hookie in a movie for the afternoon.
