Warning

Please note: To use the services of geocaching.com, you must agree to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Carpinteria's Citizen Conservationists (+ Coastal Conservancy) = a beautiful preserve for all of us to enjoy.
Although there are other caches nearby, this is such a special place - it deserves more caches and admirers.

A large development of expensive homes was planned for this spot, but the California Coastal Conservancy, Carpinteria residents and others raised more than $4 million to preserve it forever as public parkland.

There are a couple of places to access this cache. Most popular is to take Bailard exit, and park in dirt lot just south of freeway. Cache is a very safe distance from the Amtrak rail line, and you will NOT cross the tracks to find it.

On most days, you will have a fine view of Venoco oil platforms (we all drove cars to get here, right?), whales and other marine mammals, the entire length of Santa Cruz Island, and perhaps Anacapa and Santa Rosa islands too. Bring your binoculars and camera.

Near the bluffs, we saw many harbor seals, black oystercatchers (birds) and a gopher snake!

PLEASE RE-HIDE CACHE CAREFULLY AND COMPLETELY OUT OF SIGHT

Visit my Carpinteria Seal Spot and Quiet Marsh caches (and others) while you are enjoying this delightful seaside town.

Was out with the family had to go off the path to find this one. It took us awhile, but my sister found it (her first time out), so that was exciting for the group. We took the frog and Jagermeister shark and left two Disney figurines. TFTC.
