Carpinteria

Carpinteria is a small town rich in resources, economic opportunity, beauty and local commitment to its way of life. It is an unusual town for Southern California, where many communities are either business or residential. There is a strong downtown area that contains a blend of businesses - from grocery stores to restaurants, from antique shops to candy shops, from banks to civic organizations. Residential areas are scattered and each has its own unique flavor and charm. For such as small town, Carpinteria certainly has enough to keep a person busy. Since it's located about half way between Ventura and Santa Barbara and has historically been isolated from easy access to other towns, it's had to become self-sufficient in the entertainment arena. You can swim, surf, roller blade, skateboard, dance, ride bikes or work out at the gym. Almost any Sunday afternoon you can find a game of soccer or a family picnic at one of the many parks. You can catch a movie or play, shop along Linden, eat or walk the pathways of the estuary. Carpinteria is a wonderful place to live, work, and play!
