Enjoy the seaside sights and sounds of Stearns Wharf, one of Santa Barbara's most iconic landmarks. Named for builder John P. Stearns and located at the end of State Street, it is California's oldest working wharf and the perfect spot to soak up the sun, salty breezes and stunning views of the impossibly blue Pacific.
The heart of Downtown Santa Barbara’s dining, entertainment and retail district has transformed into an expansive 10-block pedestrian walkway. You can now explore, browse, shop, sip, and dine while enjoying the architectural beauty, sights and sounds of State Street—without car traffic. The conditions couldn’t be more ideal for taking a stroll!
