Carlsbad
is located 25 miles north of San Diego and is best described as a "Village by the Sea." Beautiful beaches surrounded by mountains and lagoons make up the terrain around this picture perfect town. Carlsbad State Beach, also known as Tamarack State Beach, is popular for day use and is near the village. South Carlsbad State Beach is a little more isolated, but has campsites on a cliff overlooking the ocean. The beaches provide plenty of opportunity for activities such as Frisbee, volleyball, picnicking, horseshoes, beachcombing or simply relaxing and sunbathing! The village of Carlsbad has a European feel, and is full of charming sidewalk cafes, boutiques, antique stores and romantic hotels. There are restaurants of every kind in Carlsbad, from family style to ethnic food. One of the most unique attractions in Carlsbad is Legoland, a 128-acre theme park for children ages 2-12. This is an interactive park with 47 rides and attractions, and is the only park of its kind in the country. Carlsbad also holds their Village Faires the first Sunday in May and November with more than 900 arts and crafts vendors. With year round mild weather, clean air and uncrowded beaches, Carlsbad is a delightful place to visit any time of year.

Carlsbad Weather & Climate
|
|
|
|
Sunshine almost every day and winters that are mild and free of snow attract millions to the southern California coastline, between Los Angeles and San Diego, every year. The climate is mostly classified as Mediterranean with winters being just a few degrees cooler than summers. There is little to no rain from May through September or October, which is great for outdoors activities, but bad for fire danger. Fog and low clouds usually hug the coastline in the summertime in the late evening and the wee hours of the morning, but burns off by midday. The rainy season generally runs November through March or sometimes April. Thunderstorms are infrequent and light. As you move further inland away from the cooling effect of the ocean breezes, temperatures become warmer with more variation between summer and winter.
