Love the wharf! Lots of shopping and food options, reasonably priced and plentiful parking, clean public restrooms. Breathtaking views of the ocean.
The wharf is a good place to spend the day. Lots to do like get souvineers or eat at a nice restaurant with great food& a great view, of the harbour & the ocean. You can fish off the pier. Great seafood & if you have the family when you they the
Maritime museum fun for everyone. Walk on beach , swim, surf have a picnic or barbeque. Not to mention it's beautiful here
Good place to hangout!
Really cool place for a walk.
There are multiple places around with good collection of wines and beers!
Beautiful pier over looking the harbor. This was my first visit here and it was a great time. The food was excellent and general atmosphere was welcoming and laid back. I drove up from Los Angeles for the day and I would do it again. I can't wait to go back and have some crab legs looking out to the harbor and sipping a nice cold one. Perfect for a day or weekend getaway. Go the restaurant on the pier end, dont walks away after you sign in for seating, they will skip you.
A long wooden wharf with several restaurants and gift shops, museum, parking for cars and a great view of the Shoreline and, of course, the Pacific. If you are driving, be careful, speed limit is 10 mph and there are lots of children with easy access to the narrow roadway. Free 90 minute valadated parking. When the weather turns ugly, remember you're on the ocean. Getting wet is pretty much a sure thing. The deck surface is uneven. This should not be a problem for wheelchairs but, may give some difficulty to canes or crutches. Bathrooms are wheelchair accessible.
This place is so beautiful. There is an attraction and people can enjoy sea fishing. Well, I do not know how it is at night, but it is so beautiful to go in the daytime. The scent of the sea stimulates my nose.
This wharf is great. Lots of room on the pier, shop's and restaurants. Close to the main boardwalk, and State street. A great way to get some good walking in.
This place is a pretty standard Pier with a lot of tourist attractions. Some very average restaurants with a couple of decent ones exist as well as many shops that sell souvenir trinkets. A good place for a stroll but it's also kind of hectic with so many people there.
We went in the morning and it was perfect. The gift shops are expensive. They charge you like an arm and a leg. It's crazy. You have to ask yourself if it's worth it.
Many people taking pictures. You can fish up there if you would like. In the afternoon it's too hot to walk up there.
At night it's amazing. Sometimes you can here the seals.
Loved this pier out of every one that I have visited, thus far. It is pretty awesome that you can drive onto the pier, and park. Lots of great seafood eateries to choose from. You can sit at the various picnic tables around and people watch, and watch the boats sailing by.
There are also various souvenir and gift shops, a candy store, and an ice cream shop, just to name a few. Gorgeous views all around. Some stores do not accept AMEX, so have a backup card or cash, just in case. Can't wait to visit again!!
A Pier you can drive on! Restaurants, shops, an aquarium, and great views. This was a great stop. We ate at Santa Barbara Shellfish Company. The food came out of the tank and was cooked in front of you. Delicious and entertaining!
Great place to walk around and some good place to eat. Have some cute little shops, good shops for getting Santa Barbara Souvenirs. Sea center is a cool small Aquarium. If have out town visit good place to bring them.
Definitely a must-see for Santa Barbara visitors! You can park your car on the warf. The first 90 minutes are free; then you will be charged. Nice ocean view! You can see the wales, when you are lucky and go there in the wale-season! The restaurants on the wharf are, in my opinion, not so good!
Great low-key wharf to go for a walk. There are only a few restaurants on this wharf, so it’s never crazy crowded with people. There are fantastic views of Santa Barbara and the surrounding areas especially at sunset. Also I guess this is one of the few places along the west coast where you see the sun set over land. The end of the wharf doesn’t have any railings, which was a little disconcerting to see. I guess it’s all fine as long as you’re not going for a drunken walk.
It's always going to be my favorite or one of my favorite wharfs. There's just enough stuff for me, but no Ferris Wheel or Super Loud Arcade to bring in too many people. It's a nice walk that can be windy at times, but still enjoyable 7 months pregnant in the middle of summer, which I'm not, but was many moons ago. Santa Barbara shellfish is at the end and I love that place so I'll always come for a visit!
