Things to Do at the Beach in Carlsbad
There are lots of things to do at the beach in Carlsbad, depending on your mood. Of course you can just sit there and do nothing except watch the waves, the birds, and other people. Not a bad sort of thing to do.
And of course there is surfing…one of the most popular beach activities. Or you can sit on the beach and watch the surfers and pretend. Or take a nap after you surf.
You can fly kites or even wind surf (in some areas). Or do some stand-up paddle-boarding. Or go swimming or paddle boarding. Or sit on the beach and watch the kite flyers, wind surfers, swimmers, and stand-up paddle boarders
Or take a yoga class, or do it on your own. Or sit and watch them doing yoga.
You might, while sitting there, spy some dolphins or whales cruising by as they migrate south to Baja.
And if you are energetic, play a game or two of beach volley ball. Or sit and watch them play volleyball.
So if this doesn’t suit your fancy, take a walk. Look for shells (THAT’S a challenge on our beaches – they are few and far between typically). Grab your camera and practice taking cool photos. Stretch out and work on your tan (are you protected?).
Build sand castles. Or, you know, watch someone with more energy than you build sand castles…like the kids!
Do something good for the environment and pick up trash
And at the end of the day, have your dinner on the beach, watching the sun go down, and hope for a sighting of the green flash just as the sun dips below the horizon.
Life’s a beach in Carlsbad!!
