Carpinteria

Carpinteria State Beach 205 Palm Avenue • Carpinteria, CA 93013 • (805) 684-2811 Just 12 miles south of the popular coastal town of Santa Barbara, the long expanse of white sand at Carpinteria State Beach invites visitors to relax and enjoy a glorious sunset or surf the rolling waves. PARK FEES are due and payable upon entry into the park. Use the self-registration system if the entrance station is closed. The campsite fee covers one vehicle. Additional fees apply for extra vehicles. CAMPSITES: Each campsite has a fire ring (except San Miguel beach row) and a picnic table. Swings, ropes, or hammocks may not be fastened to trees or bushes. OCCUPANCY: Eight people are allowed per family campsite. VEHICLE PARKING: Vehicles may only be parked in your assigned campsite. They must remain on the pavement and must not extend into the roadway beyond the campsite number or limit line. Additional vehicles must be parked in one of the extra-vehicle parking areas. CHECK-OUT TIME is noon. Please vacate your site by that time. Check-in time is 2 p.m. RE-REGISTRATION: If you want to re-register and do not have a reservation, you must contact the entrance station before 9 a.m. the morning you are due out. Re-registration is not guaranteed, nor is a specific site. CURFEW: All visitors under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian past 8:30 p.m. DOGS must be kept on a leash no longer than six feet and under control at all times. Except for service dogs, dogs are not permitted in buildings or on the beach. Dogs must be confined to a vehicle or tent at night. FIRES AND FIREWOOD: Please be cautious when building fires. Fires are allowed only in established fire rings or camp stoves, and are not permitted on the beach. Do not build ground fires outside the fire rings or leave campfires unattended. Do not gather firewood in the park — the nutrients must be allowed to recycle back into the ecosystem. You may purchase firewood from the camp hosts or at the entrance kiosk. SPEED LIMIT: The maximum speed limit is 15 mph. When pedestrians, bicyclists, and children are present, even 15 mph might be too fast. Use good judgment. QUIET HOURS are from 10 p.m. to 6 a.m. To ensure an enjoyable experience for everyone, please do not disturb other campers, regardless of the time of day or night. NOISE: Radios and other sound-producing devices must not be audible beyond your immediate campsite, regardless of the time of day or night.

GAMES/ACTIVITIES must be safe and not harm park resources. BICYCLES are allowed only on paved roads. Bicycle riders under age 18 must wear a helmet.
