Get a taste of history and coastal fun at California’s oldest working wharf. Stearn’s Wharf in Santa Barbara, California dates back to 1872 and provides a breathtaking proximity to the fisherman livelihood through an oceanfront boardwalk of endless entertainment.  The wharf provides a walkway out over the prismatic Pacific Ocean so you can become one with marine life. Inhale the salty ocean breeze as you gaze across the Pacific from a guided whale-watching cruise. Afterward, indulge in your every shopping and dining whim at one of the many beach shops and restaurants.

The wharf hosts some special evening events like movie nights, where you can enjoy free Friday night screenings of movies outside on the wharf with family or friends. Located at 219 Stearns Wharf, the entrance to the wharf is marked by Santa Barbara’s historic and famous Dolphins Fountain, adding to the character of the wharf that is so much a part of Santa Barbara’s identity. This site is one of Santa Barbara’s most popular tourist attractions; to be part of the magic, call 805-564-5518.
