“Bird of Paradise” is how Carlsbad, a city in California is nicknamed. With stunning views and beaches, it’s no wonder why the city is known to be a paradise. You can go for a stroll along the coastline or marvel at the flowers in full bloom. The city is also known as “The Village by the Sea” because you will always see the waves. If you are a fan of the sea breeze and water, you’ll love it here. You can also go golfing, shopping, and dining. Kids and young at heart will surely love hanging out in California. For music lovers, explore musical instruments and learn about the history of music at Museum of Making Music. It is a family-friendly destination, and those who visit here with their kids should make sure to not miss a trip to Legoland, which is home to more than 60 rides and shows. On the other hand, if you want to go on a relaxing sightseeing trip, you can go walking or biking around Carlsbad Village while looking for the perfect bar and taco place.

If you want to stay close to the sea during your holiday here, book an oceanfront home. Check out some of the best beachfront rentals in Carlsbad, California.

Beaches to visit:

  • If you prefer less crowds, head to South Carlsbad State Beach, which offers opportunities for swimming, surfing, skin diving, fishing, and more.
  • Terramar Beach is another hidden gem where surfers can catch a wave or two. Caution is advised as there are no lifeguards on the beach itself, although they do patrol the area.

Good to know:

We handpicked these listings carefully, considering (wherever possible) host status, recent guest reviews, accommodation type, prices, availability of dates, decor, and location with easy access to beach. The image galleries get refreshed with the latest updates regularly. They were last updated on August 17, 2024.
