The resort is in superb location for exploring Southern California. For anybody interested in water sports, this is a great place to go - you can hire boat, jet skis, and even go fishing as well. Carlsbad has it's own beaches, but along this coast there are loads of beaches and definitely worth a visit.

San Diego is south of Carlsbad and definitely worth a visit. A multicultural city and it is beautiful -- watch the planes as they fly very low over San Diego city!!!! While in San Diego, if you drive for a further 30 minutes south, you will come to the border with Mexico at San Ysidro. You can go across and get some good bargains -- don't forget to take your passport. Also while at San Diego, visit the Gaslamp Quarter. If you don't want to drive south, take one of the trams from San Diego to San Ysidro.
Sea World and San Diego Zoo are both worth a visit. November was a brilliant time to go to Sea World -- not many people, so it was easy to get about.
I loved this part of California and I would recommend it to anyone -- the scenery, the people, the sights -- everything is brilliant. We went in November and the weather was brilliant.
