Foot traffic was steady at Stearns Wharf on Saturday afternoon.
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. As the weather warms up, the pier has become a popular place to visit once again in Santa Barbara.
On Saturday afternoon, a steady stream of cars rolled onto Stearns Wharf.
After a two-month closure, the Sea Center of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History splashed back open.
“Stearns Wharf has suffered like many businesses and we are a big part of this area,” Sea Center director Richard Smalldon said. “We’re really happy to bring our energy back to the wharf.”
The aquarium had been closed intermittently due to ongoing state restrictions.
