Welcome to the Waterfront

WELCOME
The Waterfront Department’s mission is to provide the community with a quality Waterfront for recreation and commercial use, along with mooring and landside services for boating. Approximately 252 acres of tidelands and submerged lands is managed by the Department. The area encompasses the Harbor and Stearns Wharf. These lands belong to the State and are held in trust by the City. Different from most City departments, Waterfront is an Enterprise Fund and operates from revenues generated from the lands we manage. 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.
