The beautiful and laid back beach town of Carpinteria is only about 15 minutes south of Santa Barbara, but it has a vibe all its own.

Carpinteria is a little piece of coastal paradise with a splendid natural setting and small town charm that’s irresistible.

Dozens of antique stores, small shops and cafes are clustered along the main street of Carpinteria, which ends right on the beach at Sandyland Road.

Those lucky enough to have a home on Sandyland Road enjoy the best Carpinteria has to offer within mere city blocks.  Miles of sandy beach lie right in front, the gorgeous Carpinteria Salt Marsh Park is at the end of the street, and restaurants and shopping on the main drag of Linden Avenue are a short stroll away.

Enjoyable throughout the year, Linden Avenue also hosts special events such as the weekly Farmers Market, the Christmas Parade of Lights, the Avocado Festival, the Antique Car Show, and the 4th of July festivities.

Carpinteria boasts wonderful parks, popular schools and many year round recreational activities. Carpinteria is also home to many nurseries, some of which are open to the public and offer a tremendous variety of lovely fresh flowers and plants to discriminating buyers.
