Summerland is a relaxed, small hillside community snuggled on the coast between Carpinteria and Montecito with breathtaking ocean and island views. There are large and small homes, condominiums and ranches. Summerland is enjoyed by artists and antique collectors, and has several cafes and restaurants, a saloon, beauty salons and wine tasting. Parking and access to Summerland Beach is right off the freeway, making this beach a popular stop for a quick sunset visit.
