  • Ray
    "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. "
  • Wwalyseeya3

You have the gorgeous beach, ocean, sunsets, and mountains while everything in the town is a flat walk , biking hiking, sipping coffee in the sun. Just a wonderful heavenly quiet joyful place to be!"
