This is the stretch of California that faces south, so the sun crosses the water all day. Malibu alone has 21 miles of it, with houses built on the sand along the coast highway. Oxnard and Ventura have long open beaches and a harbor each. Carpinteria is a small beach town with a gentle shore that suits children. Santa Barbara sits under the Santa Ynez Mountains with a wharf, a harbor and beaches on both sides of town, and Montecito and Summerland fill the gap between.
