Carlsbad State Beach Details
This 44-acre park in Carlsbad is a wonderful place to spend a lazy summer afternoon. This beach has a 3-mile long stretch of soft golden sand, perfect for sunbathing, castle-building, or simply lounging with your friends or family. When the sun gets too hot, cool off in the calm waters or go bodyboarding in the shallow waves. The most incredible thing about this beach is the surrounding bluff. If you are planning on spending a few nights camping on the coast, it is worth setting up your tent along the bluff so you can wake up to a jaw-dropping view of the ocean each morning.
