Learn more about Carpinteria

Beneath the Santa Ynez Mountains, a small seaside paradise awaits with what locals proudly call the 'World's Safest Beach.' Gentle waves at Carpinteria State Beach create perfect conditions for beginning surfers or families with small children. Downtown reveals an unpretentious collection of surf shops, taco stands, and cafes where avocados travel mere miles from orchard to plate. The Seal Sanctuary offers views of harbor seals lounging on offshore rocks. Rincon Beach Park draws experienced surfers to legendary breaks. For a perfect afternoon, grab a used paperback from the Friends of the Library bookstore, then claim a patch of sand as pelicans patrol overhead. Visit during the annual Avocado Festival when this humble fruit receives a well-deserved celebration.
