5 /5 Sandeepa Dey: The historic Santa Barbara harbor is at the waterfront and next to the wharf. The breakwater is designed to keep the waves away from the yachts and provides a delightful walk quite far out from the shore. The sunset sky, misty air and the constant roll of the waves make it perfect for a peaceful stroll. There are restrooms and bike rentals available and plenty of restaurants in the area.
