Beach †

Carlsbad State Beach  - Not only does our resort have an uninterrupted view of the California sunset, but we are located directly across the street from Carlsbad State Beach.  With easy access, this 5-mile stretch of sandy beaches is at your disposal for family fun in the sun, running, swimming, surfing, bird watching, or dozens of other outdoor activities.  You can walk north right into Carlsbad Village, or you can journey south along a continuous stretch of coastline from Carlsbad to San Diego.  There are also ample opportunities to take lessons for surfing and other water sports which our Concierge would be happy to arrange.

Surfing and Carlsbad go hand in hand.  With warm temperatures all year, big swells and reliable northeastern offshore winds, our town is ready for water sports any day of the week.  Our shores are long and rarely crowded – but not without the occasional friendly swimmer, skin diver or boogie boarder.

Carlsbad has four main beaches for you to choose from: Ponto, Tamarack, North Carlsbad and South Carlsbad.  It’s also good to be familiar with the local lingo to help figure out where to meet and which waves are breaking best.  So, be on the lookout for popular surf breaks such as ‘campgrounds’ (right out from the camp grounds), ‘turnarounds’ (near the dirt turn around patch off Carlsbad Blvd), ‘Terramar’ (across from the power plants) and ‘warm waters’ (near where the power plant’s water flows into the ocean).
