Carlsbad Village has Summer written all over it with miles of pristine beaches just two blocks from the heart of its downtown. With nine beach access points starting at Beech Avenue at the north end of the Village down to the Tamarack Avenue beach access at the south end, finding a great spot on the sand to call your own for the day is easy as can be. If you prefer people and dolphin-watching to napping in the sun, the Carlsbad Sea Wall is made for you. This popular two-plus mile roundtrip paved trail runs parallel with Coast Highway at the bluff tops, with some parts of the sea wall adjacent to the sandy shoreline. Give a cardio boost to your walk by taking each stairway from the bluff to the sand and back! While dogs are not allowed on the lower sea wall, they are allowed on the sidewalks, on leash, along Carlsbad Blvd. ADA access is at Tamarack Beach at the south end of the trail near the Tamarack State Beach restrooms.
