The South Carlsbad State Beach

This is where you go when looking for thrilling camping adventures and a quiet walk with your dog. Its tranquil ambiance amplifies the whole beach experience. However, it is best you make reservations in advance to ensure you get the best out of your camping experience.

Tamarack Beach

This is undoubtedly the most amazing surf place to be. With its great views and a sprawling coastline, you could take a stroll as you watch windsurfers, scuba divers, kayakers and other water sport enthusiasts do their thing.

South Ponto Beach

Boasting well-defined surfing peaks in a somewhat ‘wild’ beach environment and great fishing spot, South Ponto beach is one of the nicest beaches in Carlsbad. It is a rare gem in Carlsbad as it exists in an undeveloped area.  Keep in mind when taking the entire family that dogs cannot go.

Terramar Beach

Here you get access to different water sports with a perfectly tranquil beach ambiance. Surfing is great here too.

Beach safety

While some water activities seem safe under perfect weather conditions, they can be unsuitable during unfavorable weather conditions. So it becomes expedient to pay close attention to beach warnings and signs. However, over a dozen lifeguard spots on the beach from the south end to the north end. Also, free and paid parking lots are available but get filled up quickly. So, it’s advisable to beat the expected traffic to get the best parking space.
