Montecito beachfront homes
Montecito's oceanfront is concentrated along Miramar Beach and Hammonds (Miramar Avenue, Sea Lane and Eucalyptus Lane) and the gated Fernald Point peninsula, where estates sit directly on a south-facing sandy cove. These are among the most sought-after beachfront homes in Santa Barbara County.
Carpinteria beachfront homes
Carpinteria holds the coast's largest concentration of true beachfront: Padaro Lane, Sandyland Cove, Sand Point Road and Beach Club Road, where gated compounds open straight onto some of the gentlest, safest sand in California.
Rincon, Faria & Ventura beachfront homes
South of Carpinteria the beachfront continues at Rincon Point, a legendary surf break with homes on the sand, and along Faria Beach, Solimar and Ventura's Pierpont and Breakers Way, where oceanfront cottages and contemporary homes line the shore.
Beachfront homes: frequently asked
What counts as a beachfront home on the Santa Barbara coast?
A beachfront home is one whose lot physically meets the sand or sits directly on the oceanfront bluff with no road between the home and the beach, true oceanfront, not ocean-view.
How many beachfront homes are for sale right now?
The count changes continuously as homes come on the market or go under contract. Because true beachfront inventory is scarce, the list is typically small and moves quickly.
What's the difference between beachfront and ocean-view homes?
A beachfront (oceanfront) home is on the water: you step from the property onto the sand or the bluff. An ocean-view home has a view of the ocean but sits further inland, often across a road or up a hillside.
Where are the beachfront neighborhoods between Santa Barbara and Ventura?
The main beachfront enclaves are Montecito's Miramar and Fernald Point, Carpinteria's Padaro Lane, Sandyland Cove and Sand Point Road, and Ventura County's Rincon Point, Faria Beach and Solimar, plus pockets along the Santa Barbara Mesa bluff.
How much do beachfront homes cost on this coast?
Beachfront pricing spans a wide range, from a few million for a smaller Ventura-coast or Carpinteria cottage to $30M and up for a Padaro Lane or Montecito oceanfront estate.
