Welcome to the Waterfront
The mission of the Waterfront Department is to provide the community with a quality Waterfront for recreation and commercial use, along with mooring and landside services for boating. We manage approximately 252 acres of tidelands and submerged lands encompassing the Harbor and Stearns Wharf. These lands belong to the State and are held in trust by the City of Santa Barbara. Our Department consists of three major operational areas: Business Services, Harbor Operations and Facilities Management.
Different from most City Departments, Waterfront is an enterprise fund and operates from revenues generated from the lands we manage. Revenue received from tenant rents, boat fees, parking fees and other sources is put back into improvements and services: preventative maintenance, capital improvement, parking services, staffing, public safety, slipholder and visitor boat services, special events, public education and more.
