    "No place is truly ā€œsafeā€. A lot of street drugs happening at the beach but kids are all over town playing (very young) without supervision. I donā€™t have kids but if I did I would be more cautious & aware of where your kids are all the time!! "

    "Iā€™ve lived in Carpinteria for more than 20 years and I love this little beach town. It has its own laidback feel to it and isnā€™t as stuffy or trendy as Montecito or Santa Barbara. There isnā€™t much in the way of nightlife and things get pretty quiet after about 8:30pm. But the charm of this place is hard to beat. "
