Carlsbad Coast

Stretch of beach in the northern portion of coastal San Diego County in the city of Carlsbad. 1169181689

Carlsbad’s long, sandy beaches are great for walking and searching for seashells. Good access is from Carlsbad Blvd, two blocks south of Carlsbad Village Dr, where there’s a boardwalk, restrooms and free parking.
