What To Expect

Stearns Wharf

Enjoy the seaside sights and sounds of Stearns Wharf, one of Santa Barbara’s most iconic landmarks. Named for builder John P. Stearns and located at the end of State Street, it is California’s oldest working wharf and the perfect spot to soak up the sun, salty breezes and stunning views of the impossibly blue Pacific. The Wharf was completed in 1872 and served the passengers and freight shipping needs of California’s south coast for more than 25 years. Today it’s one of Santa Barbara’s most visited attractions and a mainstay of the Waterfront district.

Nice trolley tour around town and out to Montecito. Guide was knowledgeable. Useful if only in town for a day to get a quick look at major landmarks.

Learned from our driver things about SB. Sometimes passengers very rude about talking when driver was speaking. We were asked by the driver twice when starting out to the funk zone about not talking when he was.🫩

A good “lay of the land” experience for further exploration of the city. Joey was a very professional and well informed tour driver.
Great adventure for all.
