Feel the breeze through your hair as you stroll along Stearns Wharf. It's a lovely spot to be as the sun goes down.

Located in Santa Barbara Beach, this waterside attraction is well worth a visit. But you'll find loads more to discover in the area. Santa Barbara County Courthouse, Mission Santa Barbara, and Presidio Santa Barbara aren't too far away from Stearns Wharf.
