Nice little shops, good atmosphere, more than enough places to have a drink and snack.Great Weather.
The vibe was great. The people are friendly. cool seeing people on bikes with surfboards attached. The lights to cross the streets are REALLY long.
Cute shops and lots of fun places to eat. Ice cream shop, chocolate bar, clothing stores, and antique shops. Enjoyed walking along, looking around, and loving the weather.
Lots of small, specialty shops, offering local and imported stuff. Not your typical beach boardwalk, but upscale shopping too.
Lot of snack area and shops. LOVED the all way crosswalk on Carlsbad Blvd. Lots of activity and if you like people watching, you will enjoy all the interesting folks that are walking, shopping, and eating and just "hangin' out".
Beautiful beach town that happens to have great food and shopping. We spent a week and made great day trips to nearby San Diego. We were always eager and happy to return to Carlsbad at the end of the day. I love the afternoon that they turn the street into a lovely farmers market.
Great shops, small diners with good food. Lots of people walking their dogs or riding bikes. Outside seating at many restaurants and pets welcome. Great boutiques.
expecting a bit more. The shops were rather boring and there appeared to be only one restaurant/bar that seemed to be have anything going on. We left without eating, drinking or shopping.
If you are visiting the beach at Carlsbad the Carlsbad Village is a short stroll from the beach. Many, many places to shop and lots of very good restaurants.
I loved walking around this town with all the shops and restaurants. It was a beautiful day to be out and about. We happened upon a grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony that added to the charm of the village.
