Tips

🕊️ 𝑻𝒓𝒂𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒓

March 9, 2022

The Carpinteria Bluffs are now preserved as open space. The trail down to the bluffs leads through quiet, open meadows and a long row of stately eucalyptus trees. An easy trail along the bluff edge to the Chevron Oil Pier observe harbor seals on the beach.
There is access to the beach just east of the pier, leading down to a long sandy beach where you can enjoy a mile of secluded walking down to Rincon Point. To the west you will need to walk through the Chevron parking lot to reach more of the Carp bluffs. These will lead you along a very pleasant set of overlooks and eventually down to the ocean's edge. From there it is a bit more than a mile to the state park. sbtrails.org/carpinteria-bluffs
