Few things beat an afternoon beside the sea. Round up the crew, organize a picnic and enjoy the fresh air at Carpinteria State Beach.

When you've spent a bit of time at this Carpinteria stretch of coastline, why not make your way to Santa Barbara Polo & Racquet Club, Miramar Beach, and Rincon Beach Park? They're not far from Carpinteria State Beach and also a hit with tourists.
