Carlsbad, Calif., is a hidden paradise that displays the vibe of a small Europen town, with all the conveniences of a modern American city. It’s surrounded by miles of coastline and beautiful gardens. With a population of 103,000, the atmosphere is friendly and quaint. It’s a great place to vacation and an even better place to live.

Situated less than 90 miles from downtown Los Angeles and 35 miles from downtown San Diego, there’s plenty to see and do here. The city gets its name from the great-tasting water in the area. The town’s founders found the chemicals in the water to be similar to the spa in Karlsbad in the Czech Republic. You can still see the original well on Carlsbad Boulevard.

Today Carlsbad is a mecca for tourists who enjoy the year-round pleasant climate, beaches, and myriad of other attractions.

This area is home to Legoland California Resort and Water Park. The locals also enjoy visiting Merlin’s Sea Life Aquarium. If you prefer to be in the water, there’s paddleboarding and kayaking in the Aqua Hedionda Lagoon. California Watersports sells and rents all types of watercraft.

Landlubbers will enjoy the 27-acre Leo Carrillo Ranch and Historic Park. The city has preserved and refurbished many of the historic adobe buildings, including the carriage house and hacienda. The ranch offers a 90-minute guided tour every Saturday.

Nature lovers won’t want to miss the Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch. This 50-acre park features colorful flowers on a hillside overlooking the California coastline. History buffs will enjoy the Carlsbad Barrio & Museum, which traces the city’s roots as a farming community. There’s also the Green Dragon Tavern & Museum. This 22,000 square-foot building includes a museum, tavern coffee house, and a world-class restaurant. See original documents from the Revolutionary War era and learn more about American history.
