The Ultimate Guide To Carlsbad, California

Updated: Jul 11

Carlsbad is a fun little area North of San Diego that I highly recommend you check out when you're in the area. Stay at The Cassara Carlsbad and check out the Carlsbad Village for some fun local shops and great food! After your shopping day, take a trip down to the beach and watch the sunset. It's the perfect way to spend your day if you ask me!
