The Complete Vacation Destination

Carlsbad, California - Great beaches, fabulous shopping, restaurants with character,  two world-class destination resorts, LEGOLAND Resort California and SEA LIFE Aquarium, make Carlsbad the preferred year-round vacation destination. Often referred to as "The Village by the Sea," Carlsbad combines the charm of a European village with the laid-back manner of a beach town that hasn't yet gone commercial. Along the beach bluff near the Village is a seawall walkway that is popular with joggers and walkers. On a clear day, the view from the seawall extends south to La Jolla and north past the Oceanside pier to the sweeping bluffs and mountains of Camp Pendleton.

If you simply want to relax and recharge your inner soul, you can soak up the sun on the beach or take nature walks around the lagoons. Or enjoy a leisurely stroll on the seawall walkway below the beach bluffs. After browsing in delightful boutiques and antique shops or just relaxing over lunch at a sidewalk cafe, you will succumb to Carlsbad's charms.
