# Motorcycle Locksmith at Stearns Wharf, the Harbor and Cabrillo Boulevard Tell us which Waterfront lot you are in, or whether the bike is out on Stearns Wharf, and we make the key there. Source: https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/santa-barbara-waterfront/ Business: The Motorcycle Locksmith, mobile motorcycle locksmith. Phone and text: (805) 429-8452 (Ventura County and Santa Barbara side). Santa Barbara's waterfront is one long strip: Shoreline Drive and Leadbetter Beach on the west, the harbor and breakwater, Stearns Wharf at the foot of State Street, then Cabrillo Boulevard past Chase Palm Park and East Beach to the Andree Clark Bird Refuge. Riders stop along all of it, and most of the public parking is in lots run by the city's Waterfront Department under rules that differ from the downtown lots a few blocks inland. Sand, salt water and a swim are a bad combination for a key. So is a boat trip out of the harbor with the key in a pocket. We are a mobile service for motorcycles and scooters, so the work is done beside the bike: a new key when the only one is gone, chip key programming, broken key removal, and repair of ignitions, seat locks and gas caps that have seized in the sea air. Have photo ID and the registration or title on hand. ## The Waterfront lots by name The city lists its Waterfront lots by name, and the name is the quickest way to tell us where you are. These are the ones riders use most. - Harbor lot, the main gated lot at the harbor, near the Maritime Museum on Harbor Way. It runs 24 hours a day. - Leadbetter lot, at Leadbetter Beach where Shoreline Drive meets Loma Alta Drive, below City College. - Harbor West, a self-pay lot at the harbor. - La Playa East and La Playa West, the City College lots, operated under an agreement between the city and the college. - Stearns Wharf, where parking is out on the pier itself. - Garden Street and Palm Park, off Cabrillo Boulevard east of the wharf. - Cabrillo West and Cabrillo East, the lots toward East Beach. ## Hours and limits that matter to a stranded bike Under the city's fee schedule the self-pay lots and Stearns Wharf operate from 8 in the morning to 10 at night every day, including weekends and holidays, with an hourly rate and a daily maximum. Stearns Wharf gives 90 minutes free on entry and then charges by the hour, at a higher rate than the beach lots. Check the posted terms when you park, since the city revises them. The Harbor lot is the exception. It charges around the clock and has a 72 hour limit. A vehicle left longer than that without a slip holder permit, or without registering with the Waterfront Parking Office beforehand, can be cited and removed. If your key is at the bottom of the harbor and the bike will sit for a few days, contact that office and explain before the third day. ## On the wharf Stearns Wharf was completed in 1872 and stands where State Street meets Cabrillo Boulevard. It is a pier out over the water, which is worth remembering when you handle something small. A key that goes over the edge is gone. Because vehicles park on the wharf, the key can be made where the bike is. ## Motorcycle key services in Santa Barbara Waterfront and Harbor Everything is done at the bike in Santa Barbara Waterfront and Harbor: no tow and no waiting on a dealer order.

Can you make one in the lot? Yes. Tell us it is the Leadbetter lot and roughly which row, and wait with the bike. With your photo ID and registration or title we can cut a key to the lock and program it if your bike uses a chip. ### My motorcycle is parked out on Stearns Wharf. Will the free 90 minutes keep running while I wait? No. The free period is 90 minutes from entry, and hourly charges apply after it up to the daily maximum. The wharf's hours of operation in the city fee schedule are 8 in the morning to 10 at night. ### How long can I leave a bike in the Harbor lot? The city limits parking there to 72 consecutive hours unless you hold a slip permit or have registered with the Waterfront Parking Office in advance. Past that, the vehicle can be cited and removed. ### My gas cap lock is crusted and the key will not go in all the way. Is that from being parked at the harbor? Very likely. Salt and grit pack into exposed locks on bikes kept near the water. We can clean or replace the lock and match it to your key. ## Helpful guides - [Dirt Bike and Dual Sport Keys: Which Bikes Have Them](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/dirt-bike-and-dual-sport-key-replacement/): Many dirt bikes have no key at all, so the first step is knowing which kind you ride. - [Does Insurance Cover Lost Motorcycle Keys?](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/does-insurance-cover-lost-motorcycle-keys/): Usually not the key itself. - [Ducati Asking for a PIN Code or Showing an E-LOCK Error](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/guides/ducati-pin-code-e-lock-error-key-not-recognized/): A Ducati that opens a PIN screen at switch-on is telling you the key was not acknowledged and that a PIN was stored on the bike at some point. ## Nearby areas we also cover [Santa Barbara](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/santa-barbara/), [Funk Zone](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/funk-zone/), [Downtown Santa Barbara](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/downtown-santa-barbara/), [The Mesa](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/santa-barbara-mesa/), [Santa Barbara City College](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/santa-barbara-city-college/), [All of Santa Barbara and Goleta](https://themotorcyclelocksmith.com/ventura-santa-barbara/service-areas/santa-barbara-area/)
