About Santa Barbara

Santa Barbara has no cruise pier. Ships anchor offshore and tender guests to Sea Landing just west of Stearns Wharf, and weather can cancel a call. From the landing, Stearns Wharf and the foot of State Street are typically a short walk east, and the Funk Zone is a little farther. Most visitors stay on foot, strolling the waterfront and State Street, tasting wine in the Funk Zone, or climbing the County Courthouse clock tower.
