Pier Santa Barbara

"Great shops!! Good restaurants!! Parking is free for the first 90 minutes. First time I've ever driven on a Pier!! Definitely must see/do!"

"I love this pier! It was great you can drive all the way onto it with the first 90mintues for free and then $3.50 for each hour after which is very reasonable. There isn't a huge variety of shops but the people are great and the views are spectacular!! There is a great variety of food restaurants. Or you could just sit at the end and watch the waves, seals, boats go by, paddle boarders and just take in some of my favourite views of my trip so far. We got there about an hour before sunset and it was just magical. A nice place to just go and chill out and forget all the worries and problems of every day life. It made my heart happier. Xx"

"Santa Barbara Pier combines natural beauty, activities, and dining in a perfect blend. It's a place that lives up to its beachy acclaim and leaves you with wonderful memories. I loved walking on wooden planks and the fact that you can park your car right at the pier."

"Very easily accessible and such beautiful views! We were able to walk here multiple times during our visit to Santa Barbara from our hotel nearby. We enjoyed a sunrise and sunsets! Unfortunately, the day we went to watch the sunrise early in the morning with the only cloudy day we visited but we still got some cold views and photos of the very gray and slowly lit sky. Parking is free initially if you are driving, double check timing but I believe it was 3 hours! You can fish off of the end of the wharf and there's plenty of space for pedestrians to walk as well as a separate area for cars to drive. There are several restaurants along the wharf as well as wine tasting, ice cream, souvenirs and other places to Check out while you're there if chosen!"
