Carlsbad is known as “The Village by the Sea,” which offers the charm of a European town along with the conveniences of a large city. As you explore the streets lined with antique stores, boutique shops, and sidewalk cafes, you’ll soon discover much more, including miles of coastline, beautiful flower gardens and world-class resorts.

Offering a perfectly mild climate it is filled with uncrowded beaches for swimming, sunbathing, and surfing as well as beautiful lagoons for fishing, birdwatching, and hikes. Venture further to discover the unique destinations of LEGOLAND® California and SEA LIFE Aquarium or the nearby attractions of San Diego and Los Angeles that complete the perfect family holiday.

Take your holiday to the green to channel your inner Woods at the Omni La Costa Golf Course, or swing by the sea at The Crossing Golf Course which is only 1 mile from the Pacific Ocean. Once you’ve completed your bucket list round, don’t forget to book yourself some well-deserved R&R at one of Carlsbad’s iconic spa facilities.

With 28 weekly flights from Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver to San Diego Intl Airport, Carlsbad is closer than you think for your upcoming winter vacation.
