Sure, Carp has some of the same negatives any state beach facility has on the coast in Cally. Here are some positives. :)
We like it for short getaways from LA when we don't feel like going all out to a more remote destination. Plenty of easy path biking and short hikes. Lovely, very safe beach. Easy to walk into town to eat or get supplies or to shop if you need a break from the camping scene. Surprisingly quiet given the location close to town and the train and the popularity. Very family friendly! My 6 yr old loves it there and so does my wife. Has a nice beach town vacation feel. The locals are always very friendly. Decent restaurants and pretty affdable too close by. Nice playground. Clean. The town itself is pretty charming.
I am surprised that we enjoy it so much as we generally desire more remote locations away from humanity. I guess sometimes you just wanna get away but don't want to go whole hog with the camping thing. Carpenteria is good for that. No need to prepare anything as Carpenteria is small enough to still be charming and big enough to allow for affordable dining and shopping if you don't feel like prepping before you go.
