Santa Barbara Harbor is one of California’s most
beautiful harbors. Paddle out of the Santa
Barbara breakwater for a view of the coastline
you won’t forget. Or you can paddle around the
harbor and experience the harbor in all its
splendor and admire the beautiful yachts. Or you
can find a cozy picnic area that awaits you,
offering the perfect spot to grab a bite on the
beach after completing your aquatic antics.
The harbor began almost a hundred years ago.
The breakwater and harbor keeps the
considerable fishing and pleasure boat
population of Santa Barbara safe and moored.
If you would prefer, you can have a guide
with you as you explore the Santa Barbara
coastline by one of the local kayak guides.
Just imagine spending a relaxing day
paddling along Santa Barbara’s waterfront,
through the harbor, along secluded beaches,
past sea lions and kelp forests and around
the historic pier. Stop along the way on a
secluded beach for lunch, and paddle back to
the harbor. People love paddling Santa
Barbara because of the relaxed pace and
incredible marine life as well as taking in
the views of town from the water.
The Santa Barbara Harbor is loaded with
halibut and is a good spot for bass and
rockfish. Fishing from a kayak is a great
way to fish Santa Barbara Harbor. In Santa
Barbara Harbor, there are numerous areas
for
novice paddlers to get their skills down. A
kayaking class will cut your learning time
in half and is always recommended.
