Stearns Wharf is a delightful blend of history and fun! 🌊 Strolling along this iconic pier, we tried delicious ice cream from the quaint shop - totally recommend the sea salt caramel! The views of the ocean were breathtaking, and we even spotted a few whales during our tour!

The dining experience was fantastic, with a fine dining spot that offered fresh seafood and local wines. Perfect for a family outing since it's very kid-friendly! Don't forget to check out the aquarium and gift shop for some cute souvenirs. Definitely a must-visit in Santa Barbara! 🐋🍦
