Stearns Wharf, Historical wooden pier in Santa Barbara, United States.
The 2,300-foot wooden pier extends into the Pacific Ocean from State Street, offering views of the Santa Barbara coastline and Channel Islands.
John P. Stearns constructed this pier in 1872, establishing the longest deep-water pier between Los Angeles and San Francisco during that period.
The Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History Sea Center on the pier introduces visitors to local marine ecosystems through interactive exhibits.
The pier provides 141 parking spaces with 90 minutes free parking, while multiple restaurants serve fresh seafood caught directly from surrounding waters.
Fortune teller Madame Rosinka maintains a traditional wooden booth on the pier, continuing a practice that dates back many decades.
