Carlsbad Tourism and Travel Guide

Once heralded for its curative mineral waters, Carlsbad, California—a charming oceanside community of pretty beaches, colorful gardens, and excellent antiques shops—is not to be confused with the home of the famed New Mexico caverns. Visitors to this part of sunny Southern California often spend their time de-stressing at the Carlsbad Mineral Water Spa or entertaining the kids at fun-filled Legoland.
