Twelve miles south of Santa Barbara, Carpinteria State Beach offers a mile of beach for swimming, surf fishing, tidepool exploring, and camping. The Spanish named the area Carpinteria because the Chumash tribe, which lived in the area, had a large seagoing canoe-building enterprise, or "carpentry shop" there. The tribe had chosen the location because of naturally occurring surface tar, which was used to seal the boats. Seals and sea lions can be seen in the area from December through May, as well as an occasional gray whale. Tidepools contain starfish, sea anemones, crabs, snails, octopi, and sea urchins
