  • Carpinteria State Beach Interpretation Master Plan Iii
    Carpinteria State Beach Interpretation Master Plan ii This page left intentionally blank Carpinteria State Beach Interpretation Master Plan iii Carpinteria State Beach Interpretation Master Plan California State Parks 2009 The conceptual drawing above shows the main entrance of Carpinteria State Beach. The colorful banners provide an eye-catching “Welcome!” To the right of the banners, a life-size model of a Chumash tomol or plank canoe interprets for visitors the source of the park’s name (in 1769, when Spanish soldiers of the Portolá expedition passed through the area they saw Chumash men building a tomol on the beach. The soldiers called the place “La Carpinteria,” or “The Carpenter Shop.”) Providing direction for connecting the park’s natural, cultural and recreational resources to its visitors is the aim of this Interpretation Master Plan.
