Boat Launch and Businesses Open at SB Marina
I
t’s time to don your mask, dust off the sails, and fuel up. As of April 25, two public launch ramps on the west side of the Santa Barbara Harbor have opened, though to ensure safe social distancing practices, a list of guidelines apply: – There is no side-by-side launching. Some launch bays remain closed to ensure social distancing. – Groups must still observe social distancing guidelines on land – It is requested that groups not congregate while waiting to launch – There is a vehicle limit of five people or less – Masks are requested at launch ramp – Wash stations are closed According to Harbor Patrol Officer Eli Brower, the boat launch will stay open based on how users adhere to social distancing practices – all guidelines are subject to change. For more information, contact the Santa Barbara Harbor Patrol at (805) 564-5530. Though some favorite haunts remain closed, such as Brophy Bros.
Harbor Market & Deli is one of several harbor businesses currently open
Seafood Restaurant and Clam Bar, On The Alley, and Chuck’s Waterfront Grill, there is still life in the Marina. Sushi GoGo offers take out, Harbor Market & Deli is open, and the Santa Barbara Fish Market has curbside pick-up and encourages patrons to call from their car or holler through the backdoor. (Public restrooms are also available.) Paddle Sports Center can be reached through text to set up an appointment and West Marine is open for any maritime needs. The moral of the story? If we continue to practice social distancing, we can support harbor businesses and squeeze out a little summertime fun, to boot. Sushi GoGo: (805) 962-6568 Santa Barbara Fish Market: (805) 965-9564 Harbor Market: (805) 966-2115 Paddle Sports Center: (805) 774-1792 West Marine: (805) 564-1334
