Spa-goers have flocked to Carlsbad since its mineral spring was discovered in the late 19th century. Today, you can visit the site of the original well, but you can do much more than just "taking the waters"—Carlsbad’s spas offer world-class services.

This well-maintained city park is a great place for a picnic, a run on one of the trails or, for the sports-minded, a game of tennis, basketball or baseball.
This is a great place to attend mini concerts, ballgames, just relax, picnic and enjoy nature. It's in a residential area but easy access from I-5

This nearly five-mile stretch of beach is popular with families but also draws surfers and skin divers to the water and runners and cyclists to the boulevard bordering the beach.
Although the sand is wet because of high tide in the evenings, still a very fun, clean beach. We were able to check out sand toys and a boogie board from our hotel (SeaPointe Resort), which made it even more fun. Beware though, the water is COLD.

Open in Spring from March 1st through Mothers Day. For over sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of North San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch® in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year – from early March through early May – literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in Southern California.
The Flower Fields of Carlsbad is a must visit when you are in North San Diego County. Every spring the flowers are in full bloom and it is wonder to see by air or in the fields up close and personal. There are wagon rides through the fields or you can walk through and take a picture in designated spots with all the flowers around you. When I have visitors here in the spring. I always take them there and they are astounded by the beauty and when they come back for a visit they always want to go back!

We love to walk along the flat trail at Batiquitos Lagoon each time we come to visit our son & his family in Carlsbad. The walk by the water has signs along the way to point out some of Nature's interesting creatures (herons, ducks, & even pack rats). There is also a small museum that children like to explore. Parking is either in a small parking area or in the neighborhood streets. Dogs & strollers are welcome.

Nestled in a neighborhood, you will find a variety of hiking trails. We did the Lake Loop and enjoyed the walk with some change in elevation and the views. There is a more challenging hike up the volcano.
