Carlsbad, California Hotels

Carlsbad is a mixed use community of homes and businesses located on the California coast in northern San Diego county. Carlsbad Village, downtown, is a popular area for shopping. The beaches are popular for sunbathing, BBQs, surfing, and camping. Inland, surrounding Palomar Airport, are several high-tech industries. Carlsbad offers several resorts with golf and tennis--the most famous being La Costa Resort and Spa. The most plush resort is Aviara Four Seasons, which opened in 1998. For general information see the Carlsbad, California web page

Best Places to Stay Lodging with "Ocean St." or "Carlsbad Blvd." addresses are closest to the beaches (Carlsbad Blvd. is part of the old Pacific Coast Highway). "Carlsbad Village" is the downtown area--good for strolling and dining.

Neighboring Communities Oceanside, to the north, Encinitas, to the south, and San Marcos and Vista, inland. Oceanside and Encinitas are also coastal beach communities. Oceanside, San Marcos, and Vista lodging is often lower-cost than Carlsbad (but may in a less-nice area than Carlsbad).
