Suggestions for Landmarks and Outdoors near Carlsbad

Emma Lena C. • November 4, 2017Great calm beach. You can walk up the beach and find a little spot to yourself any time of year.

Pam R. • April 18, 2013Lots of surfers here. There is path to climb up from the cliffs and a bench on the cliff where you can sit and watch the surfers. Lots of runners, some families. Beautiful and peaceful.

Muddy • August 24, 2014Nice views, tide pools, some cute hidden beaches

Joey • September 11, 2014Clean restrooms, awesome lifeguards, and almost always great conditions for surfing. The waves and currents can be a challenge for swimmers and novice boogie-boarders so stay close to the towers.

Denette • February 26, 2014Go on a week night. It's deserted and romantic!

@socalwithkids • April 20, 2011There's so much to do & see at The Flower Fields! It's a great place for both kids & adults. They have a fun tractor ride, gem mining area, playground, sweet pea maze, & much more. More info at link.

Melanee T. • August 18, 2013Lovely place but once sunset comes you better have bug spray- mosquitos from the lagoon are ruthless!

Erkan E. • November 23, 2019So Beautiful

Joey • September 8, 2014Great beach all year round! Parking may be challenging in the summer so get there early.

Sean M. • February 24, 2019The spot to be on a nice, clear day.

Jon C. • February 15, 2010The food is good and prices are very reasonable. Free wifi so you can get work done on those school holidays.

Drew C. • June 9, 2012Shore break is always pounding and there is not a lifeguard stationed anywhere near, so keep a close eye on your little ones.

Arwin S. • April 19, 2014Awesome Customer Service! This is a great family park because of their tot lot and fields that are available. I registered in a CubanSalsa class and rented a picnic area for my sons bday. Had a blast!
