Help Shape the Future of Santa Barbara's Waterfront

Body

The City of Santa Barbara invites community members to help shape the future of the Waterfront by participating in a brief community survey and attending upcoming open houses on potential options for the Waterfront Adaptation Plan. The online community survey will remain open through May 18. 

The Plan aims to address increasing coastal flooding and erosion over the next 30 years while enhancing beach access, recreation, boating, and habitat along the City’s Waterfront, from Leadbetter Beach to East Beach. Community input will play a critical role in refining these options as they are developed into a Draft Waterfront Adaptation Plan, anticipated for release in spring 2027.

The City will also host a series of open houses to share project information and gather community feedback. Each session will begin with a brief presentation, followed by opportunities for input.
