Top things to do in Carlsbad

Along with Legoland, Carlsbad is famous for Tamarack Surf Beach, an incredible stretch of golden sand and crashing waves that is one of the best locations in this part of California for surfing. And that's just one of the beautiful beaches along this popular stretch of coastline. But it's not just the natural environment that makes Carlsbad so special. Within the town itself, you'll find tons of great attractions, from museums to shops to restaurants and other options, so you never need to be bored in this wonderful city.

Museums in Carlsbad

Carlsbad has an interesting history. Once the home of Native American tribes, it was colonized by Spanish explorers and became part of Mexico before finally joining the United States. That has given the city, like most of California, an interesting mix of Spanish and American cultural influences. And there are some great institutions in the city where you can explore this heritage for yourself. Note that many of these museums are quite small and don't offer luggage storage, so you'll want to make your own arrangements to store your bags either here or in San Diego.

• Green Dragon Tavern & Museum: There aren't that many museums where you can have a pint of beer and even a satisfying meal, but this is one of them. As far as it may be from New England, this tavern would fit right in on the East Coast, and as well as delicious food and great beer, it has a revolutionary war museum that's a great place to explore before or after a meal.
• Museum of Making Music: Any musician will love this one. With a small but beautiful display of historic instruments through the ages, this museum also doubles as a performance venue and hosts many live musical performances throughout the year.
• Craftsmanship Museum: This fascinating museum of miniatures explores human ingenuity. You'll see tiny vehicles, engines, and buildings, all lovingly crafted from metal and wood to show off the engineering prowess it takes to make the real thing. It's a surprising place to find in the city, and a great way to spend an hour or two.

Shopping in Carlsbad

There's plenty of shopping in San Diego if you want it, but Carlsbad certainly holds its own when it comes to retail experiences. Leave the bags behind at a nearby luggage storage and pick up whatever you need at these popular outlets.

• Village Faire: The colorful Cape Cod-style shops here might make you think you've been transported to New England, but the palm trees and abundant sunshine will remind you that you're still in California. This shopping center is dedicated to unique retail experiences, so instead of major chains, you'll find local merchants selling unique items that make perfect gifts and souvenirs.
• The Shoppes at Carlsbad: This local mall is a great place to come for popular brands like Bath and Body Works, American Eagle, H&M, and Macy's. There's also a food court with a good selection of chain restaurants to keep you fueled up while you shop.
• Carlsbad Premium Outlets: This is the place to come for high fashion at low prices. This outlet mall is home to brands like Mark Jacobs, Nike, Levi's, Puma, and Gap, so you're sure to find plenty to shop for here.

Carlsbad has a great selection of restaurants to reflect the city's cosmopolitan heritage, offering everything from fresh seafood to Mexican cuisine to the flavors of Asia. Leave your bags behind at a local luggage storage and taste your way through this San Diego suburb.

• Vigilucci's Seafood & Steakhouse: Located just across the street from the crashing waves of the Pacific Ocean, this is the perfect place to dine on fresh fish. But if seafood isn't your thing, you'll also find plenty of steak, burgers, and pasta on the menu, making this a crowd-pleasing favorite for everyone.
• Le Papagayo Carlsbad: This lively Mediterranean restaurant in downtown Carlsbad provides more than just great food. Most nights, there is live music here to go with the spaghetti Bolognese, king salmon, jerk chicken, and tacos on the menu.
• Texas de Brazil - Carlsbad: Carnivores with healthy appetites should definitely consider a trip here. This all-you-can-eat Brazilian steakhouse serves a range of meats grilled to perfection and served with Latin flair.
