The polo grounds are located between two charming coastal towns. Nearby Carpinteria is an eclectic surf town and home to what has become known as "The World's Safest Beach", with its wide sandy stretches and friendly surf. The farmer's market on the main street through town, Linden Avenue, is a feast for the eye and appetite. Be sure to pop into locally-owned surf shops, brewing houses, and upscale restaurants to truly experience the charm of this coastal haven. Summerland is also nearby, rich with design-inspired shopping, casual dining, wine-tasting options, and great hills for an exhilarating walk. A must-see is Godmother's, a bookstore and gathering spot not to be missed. Remember to keep Montecito and Santa Barbara on the day-trip list. There is so much to see and do on the Central Coast. Our Concierge can make all the arrangements to ensure a memorable vacation experience, and don't forget to order one of our "First Morning Baskets" prior to your arrival to ensure that initial wake-up at the Polo grounds is memorable!
