    "No place is truly “safe”. A lot of street drugs happening at the beach but kids are all over town playing (very young) without supervision. I don’t have kids but if I did I would be more cautious & aware of where your kids are all the time!! "

    "I’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 isn’t as stuffy or trendy as Montecito or Santa Barbara. There isn’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. "
