Santa Barbara Harbor

Santa Barbara Harbor sits right at the foot of the Santa Barbara waterfront, offering moorings and marina berths against a backdrop of the Santa Ynez Mountains and the city's iconic red-tile rooftops. It's one of those spots where the setting does most of the talking — you're steps away from Stearns Wharf, the Funk Zone, and a solid stretch of restaurants and shops along Harbor Way. The harbor is city-run and well-maintained, with a harbormaster office you can reach at (805) 564-5531 during weekday hours.
