Activities & Recreation in Carlsbad, California

Our five miles of clean, uncrowded beaches are an ideal destination for beach goers and water sports enthusiasts seeking the legendary California surf and year-round sunny weather. Enjoy surfing, body boarding, wind surfing, swimming or simply relaxing in the sun. Fly a kite with the kids or build a sand castle. Paddle a kayak on the ocean or explore one of our lagoons. Hang out in the evening and watch a spectacular sunset for a perfect ending to an active day.

Carlsbad has no shortage of land based activities either. Play a round of golf on one of our PGA championship courses, take a tennis clinic at world famous La Costa Resort and Spa, go for a scenic bicycle ride along the coast, or pamper yourself at one of our famous spas. Nature lovers will enjoy walking the trails around one of our three unspoiled lagoons. And the adventurous will enjoy a spirited hot air balloon ride or a barnstorming adventure in an open cockpit biplane. Whatever you’re in the mood for, Carlsbad has something to offer.
