Carpinteria

Situated just below Montecito and Summerland lies Carpinteria, the southernmost community in Santa Barbara County. With over 13,000 residents, this area is home to many farms, beachfront properties, and suburban neighborhoods.

The main drag Linden Ave is where you’ll find many shopping and dining options as well as the Santa Barbara Farmers Market on Thursday evenings. At the end of this street, you’ll also find Carpinteria State Beach. A few other beaches in Carpinteria include Santa Claus Beach and Rincon Beach, which happens to be one of Santa Barbara’s most popular surfing destinations.
