Tomol Interpretive Play Area

Right off Carpinteria State Beach, this spot does something a little different than your standard playground setup. The whole thing is built around Chumash tomol canoe culture, so kids are actually learning something while they climb around and explore. It’s the kind of place where you end up spending more time than you planned because the kids are genuinely curious about what they’re looking at. Pair it with a beach day and you’ve basically got the afternoon handled.
