👍👍 This has always been my favorite beach whenever we visit So California. It is an excellent location with several different places to eat for lunch/dinner/snacks. There Always seems to be parking if you’re willing to drive around a little to find it. Access to the beach is direct and easy, with a few...

Carlsbad State Beach
State park
👍👍 Loved this wide pale sand beach, with rolling waves that occasionally connect for long stretches. It's like dancing waters, when shore breakers are sizable. The foam jumps & dances, before plummeting back down. Surfing this beach, looked challenging...at least it did for the guy we watched. The...

Terramar Point
Scenic spot
🫤 I went during low tide, but it still wasn't low enough. This is a tiny strip of beach that is limited accessible. Forget walking along the beach here! Great for surfing I couldn't walk along cliffs, got waves up to hip level. I suggest going to beaches south of La Costa, Encinitas & Solana Beach,...

Terramar
Public beach
👍👍 Easy parking and easy access down the stairs. Very nice beach, nice tide pools to the north. Just go down the steps and walk up (north) the beach a bit at low tide. Tide pools often have hidden treasures, such as crabs, Sea Anemones and Sea Stars (starfish). Often there are a lot of surfers. Ke...

Tower #30, Carlsbad, CA
Beach pavillion
👍 Nice beach for the kiddos, I noticed. Gentle waves were the norm, the day I visited. 1-2 foot ankle nibblers, with an occasional 3 footer, provided the challenge for beginning surfers, engaged in a Surf Lesson, I noticed, near Tower 30 & jetty next to it. This is the same area, where a lone, mass...

North Beach
Public beach
👍 Beautiful location. Not as busy as other popular beaches but much nicer. The actual beach is narrow and intially rocky until you get near the water. A few paces south of the train station. Access to the beach is in front of tower 14 crossing the train tracks. The passing train is also quite a sight...

Doheny State Beach Campground
Campground
😐 Very convenient campground to stay at for RV or car camping. I wouldn’t recommend for tent camping. Mostly Due to noise and light pollution in the general area. I had two nights booked and I don’t think I slept a solid hour the first night because the hosts were not enforcing the quiet hours PLUS th...
