Beautiful and well maintained trail around the lagoon. Lovely old trees. Lots of dog walkers. A great place to get some fresh air and enjoy the great outdoors.
Having grown up in MI canoeing from childhood on, we enjoyed cooling off during our recent hot spell at the convenient Carlsbad Lagoon. We took advantage of a discount coupon which gave us two hours to explore for the cost of one. We were given a heavy gauge red plastic two person canoe, with solid wood paddles and two life vests, and we were off and paddling. When we were through, we relaxed out of the sun on a shady deck they have overlooking the lagoon. We met others, most whom were travellers, some who were back for their second day of fun. The lagoon also rents water trikes, one and two person kayaks, paddle boards and jet ski's.
Carlsbad Lagoon is easy to get to off the freeway. Groupon's available which is great! Parking is great. The rental porcess is really easy we were in the water in 15 minuets on a holiday weekend. There was no training needed and no life jackets handed out. We were experienced so that was fine but it made me nervous for beginners. It was great exersice and we had fun!
The lagoon is littered with debris, sharp concrete and weeds. The people working are great. Very laid back. Paddle boarding was great.Sink some money into the amenities and get your vibe back
Great place to go and rent water equipment to play in the bay. We rented a paddle board for $30.00 for an hour, which was enough time for a beginner.
You can go fishing in the lagoon or walk across the street to some awesome beaches I love Carlsbad California
This is a great place to take your stand up paddle and just tool around. There is also an area to rent them if you don't own them. There is water skiing and jet ski's available for rent as well.
This is such a fun place. We rent kayaks and head east down the lagoon. So much fun, if you have boats, but you can also jet ski!! The water is really warm in the summer and the boat rental shop has created a really nice ambiance with chairs and tables. They have a surf shop if you need anything from shorts to shandals. Price for Kayak was 20.00 an hour last time we were there.
This is one out of three lagoons in Carlsbad. This one in particular is great for all kinds of water sports, kayaking, water bikes, pedal boats, jet ski. The lagoon is about 2 miles from Tamarack Beach and many very good restaurants. Lots to do!
You can either rent or bring your own equipment. If you bring your own (kayaks, or stand up paddleboards) you can launch for free from Bristol cove. Parking is on the street, but usually available.
