Introduction

The Sterns Wharf, located at the Santa Barbara harbor, was built in 1872 and is the longest deep-water pier between San Francisco and Los Angeles. It was named after local lumberman John Sterns. After a fire in 1998, a new Sterns Wharf was constructed and has since become a landmark in Santa Barbara. It now serves as a tourist destination, featuring some small shops and several restaurants for visitors to rest and enjoy. At the other end is the Marine Center, which is a part of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History and provides an interesting and interactive ocean education experience. The reconstruction and development of the pier have made it a popular tourist destination.
