Underneath Tar Pit Park Pier

This location is underneath the pier at Tar Pit Park, which is a beach in Carpinteria California off the Pacific Coast Highway, south of Santa Barbara. There is a parking lot at the end of Dump Rd with a small fee. From there you can see the beach and the pier which is a very short walk away. Asphalt seeps out onto the beach, one of only five in the world. Use caution when walking as the asphalt can be sticky and get on the bottom of your shoes.
