Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve

"I love this place to take a walk see the sunset on the seals on the Beach"

"Beautiful walking paths along the bluffs overlooking the ocean and with ocean access. Also a spot to watch the seals below! Free parking, easy difficulty level of trails. A great time!"

"It's one of my favorite places. People, if you visit this place, please do your part to remove your trash, plus one. There are no garbage cans, and a lot of people seem to think the bushes are an acceptable substitute. Take your trash back with you, please!"

"This is a really pretty place to stop along the scenic coastal highway! It doesn’t take long to walk to the cliffs, and if you go there at sunset, you can get some incredible pictures. I always am extremely impressed by the California coastline, and this place takes the cake. Also be sure to go to the railroad tracks to get some nice photos as well! Be careful once you get to the cliffs - they are unstable and you could easily slip. Always be on the lookout!"

"A very beautiful view here. There is a cliff that drops right to the beach so that's amazing to look at. They have public bathrooms which in the women's there are no toilet seat covers! They don't even have a spot for them so it wasn't just in need of a refill they just do NOT have any. Gross. The trail is really nice and my dog loved it. The day I was here had a thick fog that was moving up the cliff fast and it made for a crazy, beautiful, and creepy view! Especially where the fog slowly covered the railroad tracks! See the pictures."
