Moby Dicks is now open from 11am to 4pm daily and offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner; with the harbor entrance as our spectacular backdrop.

If you looking to get out and get some fresh air, check out Stearns Wharf. For public safety the businesses are certifying to the County/State Health requirements. There’s a lot of room for safe distancing, all the restaurants have outdoor seating, and as always – fishing is free. We believe everybody should stay healthy, so masks are required for entry into the shops and restaurants.
Stearns wharf has the best views of the Channel Islands and Santa Barbara. Parking on the wharf and the adjacent lots are not monitored at this time so take advantage of the free parking. Visit your favorite shop or restaurants and watch for watch for the Sea Centers reopening in July.
