Just 12 miles southeast of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria (called “Carp” by locals) is a charming, coastal community with a pedestrian-friendly main street (Linden Avenue), mom-and-pop shops, gourmet cafés and antique stores. The pavement leads to Carpinteria’s sparkling beaches, including Carpinteria State Beach, dubbed “the world’s safest beach.” Beyond the shoreline, Carpinteria’s foothills and verdant mountains are peppered with flower nurseries, polo fields, avocado orchards and horse ranches.

Seaside Fardens is a nursery and botanical garden with a variety of sections landscaped to display various regional planting’s ie. grasses, desert, native CA, Asian influenced etc. it is fun to stroll along the paths and become inspired to improve your own garden. The knowledgeable staff is helpful and accommodating with suggestion for plants you can purchase. There is a plentiful selection of beautiful succulents and great ideas for trying your hand at creating your own arrangements. There are lots of planters and garden kitsch you can easily spend a couple of hours on your visit. I wish I had a place like this close to home.

Terrific family beach for kids, teens and elders... Make reservations ASAP for a pull in campsite. Lots of tent spaces for bike and car travelers. Very interesting next door playground around theme of Chumash indians. HUGE lawn area for local events, kite flying and letting kids run wild. Sandy beach with tide pools on rocks at low tide. Not many shells but some great stones for collector’s pockets. Easy walk to town. Burgers at 50 Year old The Spot location a must, A truly happy place.
