“The World’s Safest Beach” has always been Carpinteria’s claim to fame. A long coastal shelf creates shallow waters for swimmers and vast sandy beaches for sunbathers. Home to avocado and citrus orchards and some of the largest flower growers in the United States, Carpinteria’s perfect climate also makes for exquisite living conditions with long, mild summers and short winters. The hills are dotted with large ranches while downtown has become a busy hub with excellent restaurants and boutiques–mostly family-run businesses–all within a short walk to the beach. Carpinteria is a tight-knit community, exhibiting unstoppable loyal support for their community and laid back coastal lifestyle.
