Santa Barbara, City

The Waterfront Department of Santa Barbara manages approximately 252 acres of tidelands and submerged lands, focusing on providing quality recreational and commercial services, including boating and mooring facilities. Funded through tenant rents and various fees, the department reinvests revenues into improvements, maintenance, and public safety initiatives within the Harbor and Stearns Wharf areas.

The department oversees the Local Coastal Program, which was revised in 2019 to guide coastal development and prioritize activities within the Harbor, incorporating applicable policies from the previous Harbor Master Plan. Through events and community engagement, the Waterfront Department aims to enhance the experience of residents and visitors alike.
