Carlsbad is the center of the golf equipment industry: Callaway, TaylorMade, Cobra and Titleist’s golf club operations all have major offices or headquarters in town, along with a strong group of life sciences, technology and action sports companies. The city is also a resort destination in its own right, home to the Omni La Costa and Park Hyatt Aviara, Legoland California and The Flower Fields, whose ranunculus blooms paint a hillside above the freeway each spring.

McClellan-Palomar Airport sits in the middle of Carlsbad’s business parks, which means you can skip San Diego International and the drive up Interstate 5 entirely. It is equally convenient for Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Encinitas and Oceanside, so it suits golf industry meetings, house hunting along the North County coast and family trips to Legoland. Visitors come for the beaches and surf breaks from Oceanside to Swami’s, the restaurants and bars of Carlsbad Village, summer racing at Del Mar and quiet walks around Batiquitos Lagoon.

Things to do in Carlsbad

When to go. Carlsbad’s climate is mild year-round, with ocean breezes keeping summers comfortable. The Flower Fields bloom from about March into May, the best time for color. The San Diego County Fair runs at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in June and early July, followed by the summer racing season. May and June can start gray under a marine layer, while late summer and fall bring the warmest water and clearest skies.
