Be sure to check out the little shops; they sell a lot of interesting things- items with names engraved on them, high-quality clothing, and absolutely amazing fridge magnets. I especially liked the shops on the pier. It’s a shame we didn’t make it to the restaurant; it’s definitely worth taking a stroll there and sitting down for dinner.

Great place to visit. Has many ships and restaurants, including cruising excursions. And the best part, you can drive your car on the pier and park it. You must pay for parking but when you leave. And the restaurants are good, if you like seafood. 🐟🦞🐙

You can drive up to the end of Stearns wharf, with free parking for 90mins. The wharf is really cool. Lots of places to eat and the views are amazing. Especially looking back at Santa Barbara city. Checking you the photos and videos

Nice area, traffic on the weekends is insane so I wouldn’t even try to drive on here. Plus parking is very limited! We walked here from where we stayed. Shops and restaurants were nice, museum was ok but more for little,little kids. Beach areas were nice, there’s a lot of trash and broken glass so look where you step on the beach!

Wonderful ocean wharf in every sense. Beautiful view in every direction. Well maintained for safety and easy walking. Great for fishing, sightseeing and more shops and restaurants than I've ever seen on a wharf but still spacious. Parking on the wharf is a huge bonus and free for 90 minutes.
