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.

Cute little hotel if you’re wanting to stay in Solvang! Walking distance to the village and restaurants. The hotel itself was well maintained and also had cute and modern decor. We checked in pretty late in the evening after office hours but was able to retrieve my room key from a lockbox. They communicated well. Highly recommend!
