Carlsbad Village

Carlsbad is a vibrant coastal city built along the coastline north of San Diego. Runners can sometimes be seen pressing their hamstrings and people holding surfboards swiping their wet hair from the beach beside the fence of the coastal street. Sometimes a group of motorcades ride through the busy road, the streets are lined with fine restaurants, coffee shops, bars.

I loved the laid back atmosphere in Carlsbad, where everyone seemed so chilled and happy. Several shops with plenty of parking options. There is a good selection of eateries and we had a great breakfast in one of the cafes each morning.

Buying a t-shirt, sports eyes, shoes, bags and chocolates is a good place to go.
