Santa Barbara Harbor

34 24' 45 N
119 41' 46 W

The Santa Barbara Harbor creates an area safe from rough waves and currents. People can safely dock in the harbor. Prior to 1920, any sea vessels calling at Santa Barbara were at the mercy of the weather and rough seas. Against the recommendation of the Army Corps of Engineers, an L shaped breakwater was constructed to form the Santa Barbara Harbor.
