Carlsbad Village is charming and fun walking area. Many small shops to interest a person including delightful art galleries. Several snack shops including yogurt, etc.

Los Olas Mexican Restaurant is one of our favorites. Good maggies and food and always friendly. They have another location further South in the town of Cardiff which is a little less congested and a beautiful drive.

I never have enough time in the Village. Never. Too much fun stuff to see and shop. I don't believe the parking meters accept credit cards, which would be nice and convenient, especially if they are the sort of meters that will REFUND the money you put in if you leave 'early'!

I love the village ambiance, character and feel of this seaside locale. Classic southern California with a hint of old world charm not to mention gorgeous weather almost all year round.

Whatever you are hungry for, you can find it here. We enjoyed fine dining, pizza, and breakfast in unique settings. Everything is in walking distance of the beach and lodging.

This place is absolutely gorgeous. There's shopping, great restaurants, a fountain - such an enjoyable place to spend time at. I think it's quite a beautiful area near the ocean . We were staying at the Beach Terrace Inn right on the ocean and we only had to cross the street to get to this place for all our meals,... More

We just enjoyed the ambience of being on the S CA coast and discovering things we had not experienced before. Many fun restaurants, shops and a farmer's market. Parking is a little dicey with the construction going on.
