Carlsbad, commonly
called the "Village by the Sea" is named for the
popular 19th century Karlsbad Spa in Europe. Carlsbad
(or Carlsgood!) consists of 48 square miles of rolling
hills with seven miles of scenic coastline. Located 35
miles north of San Diego and 86 miles south of Los
Angeles, it is easily accessible from either city. Old
world charm that exists within a modern day city where
the oldest building in town dates back to 1887.
Carlsbad is home to two world class spa resorts: La
Costa Resort & Spa and Four Seasons Resort, Aviara and
is a charming city by the sea that attracts guests
from around the world. A premier flower growing region
for poinsettias and ranunculus. March begins the
arrival of spring which brings an endless sea of
colors to local fields. People come from near and far
and pay a small fee to get a glimpse of nature's
perfect beauty. The bird of paradise got its start
here and is the city's official flower.
Legoland theme park, Carlsbad flower fields, a
downtown shopping village with a European flavor, a
shopping mall and family oriented vacation beaches are
a few of the things you can do and see when you visit.
There is also jetskiing, parasailing and sky diving
for additional thrills.
For golf there's Aviara, an 18-hole public course,
Rancho Carlsbad, a public 18-hole executive course and
Encinitas Ranch, 18-hole public course. LaCosta Resort
offers two 18-hole courses open to hotel guests and
Shadowridge/ Vista features an 18-hole private course
