In preparation for beach season, the City of Carpinteria began tractor work to deconstruct the berm on Monday, March 3. The berm is built late in the fall to protect public and private property from high tides and winter storms. When the risk of flooding and damage has subsided, we flatten the berm and return the beach to a condition that’s optimal for sunbathing, frisbee, sandcastle building and all the other joys of spring, summer and fall. For your safety, please avoid the beach while the tractor is working.
