Nice quiet experience, different from the usual wharfs in California. Great views and good restaurant choices. We spent 2 hours walking around the Wharf and taking pictures of the bay.

Another jewel in the crown. Perfect weather, perfect sunshine, perfect waves, good vibes, good food. Great board walk. I am only thinking about sizzling heat sweeping through France,UK, Italy,Grease and pray to god to save them global warming. Here though a different story cool weather. May god continue bless California with awesome beaches, beautiful sunshine and save us all global warming.

SUPER COOL!!!! We arrived here at night when everything was already closed. However, it was neat that we actually drove down the wharf and parked here. The views of Santa Barbara's coast and hills at night were magical because the wharf extends far into the ocean. The best part is the night time fishing!!! Come on down and check this out

Everything they sell is delicious and awesome! I recommend trying the food out! But what's better as a car person, is that I encountered 2 Ferrari's and a ROLLS ROYCE! The place is a great place to visit!

Nice pier in Santa Barbara! It was very windy today. The pier offers some good views of the water and the sunset on the other side. A nice walk place as well!
