The 10 Best Shopping in Carpinteria, California (CA)
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.

Palm Loft Gallery is a local treasure. you will find only original works of art by established painters and wonderful, but under-recognized artists. The setting is beautiful. the shows are lovingly and expertly arranged; a work of art in themselves. the artists' receptions are fun and free! treat yourself to an artful visit.
