Carpinteria City Beach

"Wonderful views! Life guards are always attentive!"

"I love Carpinteria beach! It’s awesome, family friendly, and has a lovely view of the ocean. The only thing I would say to watch out for is stingrays. There’s not a ton, but also it depends on the season. (To avoid them just shuffle your feet while walking) There’s usually people around there selling food. If you are looking to get something to eat that’s close, definitely go to the Spot. The burgers are incredible."

"gorgeous beach. very calm, relaxing, incredibly quiet place. lots of cute dogs, lots of dog poop. did my best to clean up trash and things where i could, but not a lot of trash bins out by the beach entrances. be careful walking near the dry sandy dunes, i stomped on a mysterious sharp object (driftwood/seashell?) and cut my foot pretty badly. the nice lifeguard lady at the outpost did her best. great place to hunt for seaglass and sand dollars at low tide. would 100% live here if i could, i’ve never been anywhere like it."

"What a pleasant find. We went to watch the sunset. Place was not crowded. What a serene place for such a beautiful early evening. The only time we witnessed the sunset and moonrise happened the same time. It’s very close to downtown Carpinteria. We went back the following day the same time and had a little picnic."

"Nothing wrong with the beach. Easy to get too. Its long but I wouldnt say the beach/sand area is that large compared to others. So maybe that made it seem like Everybody and their mother was there on the day we went! Literally. So many people but it was fun! We rented boogie boards from a nice lady who has a small shop/shack right on the beach. Oh also there's tons of kelp. A lot more than I've ever seen. Some poor girls were dragging a mountain of it outta the water. The kids had a great time though."
