What there is to do here.
Seven miles of coast, three lagoons, a theme park, and a downtown you can walk end to end.
The coast and the lagoons.
Most of what Carlsbad is known for happens outside.
The beaches
Three distinct stretches of coast, every public access point, and the seawall walk.
The Flower Fields
Fifty acres of ranunculus, open for about seven weeks each spring.
Agua Hedionda Lagoon
A 400-acre working wetland with a discovery centre, trails and lagoon tours.
On the water
Surfing, paddling and lagoon boating along the Carlsbad coast.
Museums, LEGOLAND and the Village.
Museum of Making Music
A century of instruments and the trade around them — and you can play a lot of it.
LEGOLAND California
The resort on the Carlsbad side of the 5, and the reason many families come at all.
The Village
Walkable downtown two blocks from the sand, with the Coaster in the middle of it.
Shopping
Village storefronts and the outlets, plus the member businesses behind both.
Golf
Courses around the city, including play with an ocean view.
