The Bluffs provide unlimited public access to open space and to our coastal wonders for the citizens of the City of Carpinteria, the Carpinteria Valley and the greater South Coast area. Help Us Conserve

The Carpinteria Bluffs stand at the center of a stunning collection of natural resources. To the south, the California Channel Islands National Park and Marine Sanctuary and the Carpinteria Harbor Seal haul-out area offer visitors a sense of the coastal bluff setting.

In 1996, the Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs was formed after two nights of public hearings before the City Council, when hundreds of people from the community showed up to voice opposition to yet another development proposal for the Bluffs.

The goal of the Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs is to preserve forever the Carpinteria Bluffs as open space. We use educational and promotional activities to raise public knowledge and appreciation of the Bluffs and its natural features.

The site of the proposed resort and apartment complex is on the parcels totaling 27.5 acres located between the Carpinteria Bluffs Nature Preserve and Carpinteria Skatepark where Tee Time Driving Range and a farm currently operate.

It is called the Katie Roberts Bluffs Day, named after the late Katie Roberts, who helped save the Carpinteria Bluffs back in 1998 and, a few years later, created this day-at-the-bluffs field trip for our local students.

The Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs’ primary mission remains “to preserve forever the Carpinteria Bluffs as open space.” In that regards, I want to assure everyone that public acquisition of the remaining open space of the “Bluffs I” property remains the highest priority for Citizens for the Carpinteria Bluffs.
