Carpinteria State Beach, State beach in Santa Barbara County, United States.
Carpinteria State Beach extends along 4,685 feet of coastline, offering a sandy shoreline and gentle waves suitable for swimming and surfing activities.
The Chumash people inhabited this coastal area, constructing wooden canoes from local materials, which led Spanish colonizers to name it Carpinteria.
The beach hosts environmental education programs throughout the year, teaching visitors about local marine ecosystems and wildlife conservation efforts.
The beach provides camping facilities, restrooms, showers, and picnic areas, with convenient access from the parking lot at 205 Palm Avenue.
The protected harbor seal rookery at Carpinteria State Beach stands as one of only four remaining seal breeding grounds on the Southern California coast.
