The North San Diego beach communities include Solana Beach, Encinitas, Cardiff, Leucadia and Carlsbad. Each community is blessed with magnificent ocean views and cooling sea breezes.

Legoland is a fun attraction for families when they are visiting Carlsbad – it’s a well thought out, colorful and a very agreeable theme parks for parents as well as children. The lines much shorter than those at Disneyland plus the atmosphere is quiet relaxed for a children’s theme park. Adults enjoy the lovely landscaping and appreciate the healthy caf with healthier menu items.

There’s sandy beach below and a great sidewalk along the bluff tops for sunset strolls and people watching. A little further to the south is South Carlsbad State Beach (the locals call it South Ponto). You will find a state campground on top of the bluff overlooking the ocean with stairs to the beach below.

A popular attraction is the Flower Fields, open in the spring from March through May where you can walk through acres of vibrantly colored fields of flowers along the Pacific Ocean.
