Santa Barbara Sterns Warf
State Street is the heart of the
Santa Barbara commerce district. The downtown area stretches eight
blocks from Haley Street to Victoria St. and spreads out at each
intersection with additional stores.
The walk from Stern's Wharf at the
corner of Cabrillo Blvd. and State Street is about five blocks. This
desolate area between the Wharf and the beginning of the downtown area
looks like revitalization waiting to happen.
The free trolley ride from the wharf to the downtown area helps to shuffle those visitors who are unable to make the long walk.

Looking north near the intersection
of Cabrillo Blvd. and State Street where Stern's Wharf begins. The
Californian Hotel is seen in the upper left.
State Street is dotted with locally
owned clothing and specialty shops, restaurants and chain-stores that
transparently fit into the architectural design.
The first and the last Sambo's
restaurant in the country across from the Harbor on 216 W. Cabrillo
Blvd. (805-965-3269), just west of State Street. Sambo's is owned and
operated by the same family that started it in 1957. Sit outside on the
patio or in the original dining area that pioneered the chain
restaurant. Santa Barbara is also the home of the first Motel 6.
