I will not be back. I walked in to look around as I have never been here. I love to shop local and I was excited to see all the local Carpinteria merchandise. I wasn't greeted. OK. Fine, I can accept that as maybe she was having a bad day? It was an older lady, blonde hair, who was working. She was *radiating annoyance and irritation and I felt awkward trying to even make small talk with her. You could tell she didn't want to be there, and by the body language she was presenting, she didn't want me there, either. I had asked a question about plus sized shirts. I had asked about the sticker prices. I knew after my 2nd question that she couldn't care less if I had any questions or even if I had asked her what time it was. I bought a few items because I felt a bit guilty about going in and just looking. I still love Carp even though this experience sucked. I wouldn't recommend spending your money in this place. Support one of the other local businesses in the area instead who really appreciate you and your money!

Tourists: If you're looking for authentic Carpinteria wear, stickers, jewelry, etc. this is your shop! Locals, you already know though. This shops the OG surf attire featuring Matt Moore goods, Rincon Design branded gear, camping mugs, sun hats, aloe and sunscreen, bikinis and life guard attire, and so much more. Personally, I come here for bikini shopping, Sun Bum, Sex Wax, trendy new stickers, and beachy jewelry. I love how there's always parking somewhere close, the staff are quick and attentive, while not always extremely friendly, they are helpful. The shop is always up on the latest trends and does offer a sale rack at the front with reasonable deals. And you can always count on them for good birthday gifts or iconic Carp goods to send to relatives in other states. A little pricey for my style but definitely an adorable shop and I will be back for goods in the future.

Truly my closet is 90% from this store as I have curated a wardrobe from here over the last 14 years. Taylor curates the most beautiful selection of clothes, accessories, and gifts--you can always count on finding something unique and stylish. What makes this boutique truly special, is Taylor and her staff. They are refreshingly honest and genuinely care about how you feel in what you're trying on. No pushy sales tactics, just real advice to make sure you walk out with pieces you'll actually love and wear. Every visit feels like shopping with a trusted friend who wants you to look and feel your absolute best. Between the warm vibe, the quality finds, and the down-to-earth team, Seastrand is a true gem that I recommend to everyone!

Island Outfitters is a beachy themed adult/seniors store, I would say, that carries mostly brand name clothing made with high quality materials and very high pricing. They do have a section I enjoy browsing at the front that include seashell style gifts and home decor. During the holidays they have beautiful, unique ornaments as well, but again way out of my price range. There is a funny little fur ball dog that greets you each time you walk in. It's very friendly and well trained, just wants to say hi! They also usually have packets of California poppy seeds at the front in an orange paper wrapped back for you to take, no charge. I love the concept of keeping California traditions alive like that. The staff here are welcoming and very focused on their jobs. They may not make a huge effort for customer service but if you go up and ask questions they're glad to help. Parking can be found on Linden Ave, side streets, or the lot behind Crushcakes. I will continue to come back to see what new ideas that have brought into the store, but quite honestly unless there is a massive 70% off bargain sale I don't see myself seriously shopping/purchasing here.

Fast forward to the last day of camp he did not want to leave. He had a lot of good things to say about all his instructors. It was extra money to attend camp because he's not 6.

I missed his performance in the surf competition the last day. I highly recommend giving your child this experience. They offer scholarships and one on one lessons.
