    Walk to the end of the pier for a great view of the city and the ocean. Then stop in the Santa Barbara Shellfish Company for the best fried calamari you'll ever have.

    California’s oldest working wharf, dating back to 1872. World-class restaurants include The Harbor Restaurant, Moby Dick Restaurant, Santa Barbara Shellfish & Co. Visit the many gift & apparel shops!

    The California coast is a couple of blocks from our Santa Barbara boutique hotel, and you can spend a day on Stearns Wharf.

    Parking is usually accessible into the night. Great place to look back at the hills of Montecito and Santa Barbara, as well as out to the ocean

    This wharf has easy parking. The Santa Barbara Shellfish Co. is a really good restaurant at the end.

    Please don’t drink and drive. It’s the easiest way to ruin your vacation and hurt others.
