I don’t know, I think I’d pick Ritz-Carlton, or Miramar. If I won the lottery, and lost all of my common sense, that is. Like Tom indicated, even “budget” hotels in SB are obscenely expensive. Pick the best you can afford?

Please define expectation of "on the ocean." No hotels in SB, iirc, are right ON the beach. Across the street (Cabrillo Blvd) and can see the beach and ocean, but it's not as if you can leave your hotel room or lobby, and walk directly onto the beach.
Also to consider as you choose, how far do you want to be from downtown/State Street? Do you want to be in easy walking distance of that, as well as the beach?

We stayed at Bacara quite a few years ago. I see it is now Ritz-Carlton Bacara. It's a beautiful resort and when we were there the food was excellent and the spa was also very good. I wouldn't hesitate to stay there again if we were in the area.

Miramar and Bacara are your best bets, now that the Four Seasons is closed. As others have noted, you will need to walk to the beach. The Double Tree Hilton may satisfy your beach access needs at a more reasonable ( but still $$$) price point.
What is your budget and what do you wish to do while you're in the area?

We stayed at the Hilton and loved it, short walk to Sterns Wharf, can even walk up State street from there. The picture is below, hopefully it doesn't post as big as it shows on preview. Check out our Santa Barbara YouTube video, it is only a couple minutes -
