Carpinteria Coastline

To the attentive eye, each moment of the year has its own beauty . . . it beholds every hour, a picture which was never seen before, and which shall never be seen again.
Ralph Waldo Emerson - Beauty

Seal Sanctuary

At the Carpinteria Seal Sanctuary you can find a community of harbor seals; playing in the water and sunbathing along the shoreline. You can view these creatures from several different look out points along the rocky cliff.  This protected habitat is a place where the seals give birth to their cubs.
