5. Carpinteria State Beach

CARPINTERIA.   Applauded by "Dr. Beach" for its beauty and quality, Carpinteria also finds approval with visitors, who love the calm waters that result from a protective reef. Swimming is safe for adults and little ones, and the beach is great for sand play, exploring tide pools, and fishing. Restrooms, picnicking areas, and camping facilities can be found in the vicinity, and marine mammals pass through in winter and spring. The only drawback is that natural deposits of tar sometimes appear in the sands. 12 miles from Santa Barbara.   (© 10Best)
