Showing Off Our Favorite Beach In Santa Barbara County!

This is an entry in Anna Banana Kruchten CRB, CRS 602-380-4886, Summer Fun Challenge.  Pictured above is the tractor that grooms the beaches daily in Carpinteria.  There are two sides to the beach, this is the Sandyland side.  You can walk all the way to the city of Santa Barbara at low tide on this side of the beach.

This side of the beach is a California State Park.  This is where you can view amazing tide pools when the tide registers at the minus levels.   We really enjoy these low tide walks because there are volunteers that enjoy pointing out the sea life. Pictured below is a big sea slug that you can only see at low tide.

The Wasatch Indians used to use the tar that oozed from the ocean to waterproof their canoes.  They were the ones who gave our little village the name, "Carpinteria" meaning carpenter's bench. The tar is still oozing as you can see from the picture below.

You can walk on this beach all the way to Rincon beach.  Rincon is the favorite of advanced surfers.  On this walk, you will have to go up to the Carpinteria bluffs when you reach the seal rookery/Seal Sanctuary.  This area is guarded especially at seal birthing time from November through May.  You can view the seals from the bluffs as seen in the photo below.

The Carpinteria Bluffs are a 55 acre nature reserve with views of the ocean, hiking trails, and includes a view the seal rookery (nursery)and Sanctuary.

This is land that will never be built on, and it is also intended to preserve native California plants.  When you reach the top of the bluffs there is a path (pictured below) that lead to the Rincon beach.

 

My niece (A) is flying on Sunday afternoon from Minneapolis, and we are definitely going to show off this wonderful beach area to her.  Wishing you all a wonderful Friday and a great weekend.

I have been there and loved every moment of it, Alexandra!  I also remember seeing tar oozing out of certain places, but didn't know its use by the Native American Indians.

Myrl Jeffcoat The Wasatch Indians felt that the beach was shaped like a carpenter's bench...I never cease to be delighted.  We have been here almost 10 years and I am not tired of it at all...A

Morning Alexandra.

I do believe we saw the seals on our last visit.  I know we saw some, but not sure if it was at Carpinteria, or not
