Carlsbad village is steps away from the beachfront and has tons to explore. Highly recommend grabbing coffee or a drink and/or taking a beach walk.
La Jolla Cove has one of the most beautiful views in San Diego and allows you to get close to the native sea lion population. In addition to the view, there are great restaurants and shopping in this area. Only 27 miles south of Carlsbad, it is easy to get to and worth the views. For the adventurous types, head to La Jolla Beach to go on a kayaking tour through the famous La Jolla Sea Caves.
Voted the #1 most beautiful campus in the United States, it's worth a stop. Also, this is where Michael and Bree met, Go Toreros!
A great place to go for a nature walk with breathtaking views of the ocean. Get outside, enjoy the SD sun, and take in the views.
