About Carpinteria

 Just south of Montecito you'll discover the peaceful seaside city of Carpinteria. Home to a world-renowned surfing area off Rincon Point, it is easy to get caught up in the laidback feel of the community and the naturally beautiful surroundings. Carpinteria notably harbors the historic Santa Barbara Polo Club, one of the oldest in the United States. The deluxe Club with its four elegantly groomed polo fields and clubhouses, offers weekly polo games throughout most of the year.

Carpinteria State Beach encompasses over 4,000 feet of ocean frontage and secluded wooded groves, offering overnight camping in addition to esteemed surfing and fishing. Just a few blocks from the ocean you'll find wide, tree-lined streets with charming shops and restaurants creating an idyllic downtown atmosphere. Carpinteria often showcases parades, craft shows and other events that evoke a gentle way of life.
