Things to Do in Carlsbad

Carlsbad has always been a draw for tourists who wanted the pristine beaches of California without the hustle and bustle of San Diego or Los Angeles. If lazy days spent at the shoreline sound like your cup of tea, book one of our Carlsbad hotels near Carlsbad State Beach, so your days in the sun will be long and filled with naps.

If you're a food lover, we’ve definitely got something for you—take a food tour! You’ll experience more than half a dozen local eateries while learning more about the area and what makes it special to the residents. If the history piques your interest, drop by the Magee House, where the Carlsbad Historical Society has set up shop.

Carlsbad is known for its 50 acres of flower fields that burst into colour during spring, and if you’re visiting during that season, a trip to the Flower Fields is a must. Summer is golf season; take lessons or just hit the greens—even if you're "green" (see what we did there?) when it comes to the sport. Water lovers have paddle boarding and surfing options to pass the long summer days. Whatever you end up doing, one of our hotels in Carlsbad will be the perfect space to recharge after an awesome day.

Getting to & Around Carlsbad

Carlsbad is an excellent side trip to pair with a San Diego holiday, as that's where you're likely to arrive when you step off the plane. The city has train and bus options to get you where you need to go, or snag one of Wotif’s car hire deals to get around at your own pace.
