I loved living in Carlsbad. The D Street Beach was the best!! Very close to the race track at Del Mar.

Debbie / Carlsbad Native
Well Carlsbad means foggy mornings with the smell of the sea. Quiet evenings with a beautiful sunset? Afternoons after the fog burns off at the beautiful sand and sun beach. Lived 1 block from the beach for 28 years raised 3 kids and 5 dogs. Roses. Lemons. Sunsets surf. Beautiful people paradise.

Carlsbad is where I went to high school. We road our bikes to Tamarack Beach every summer day. Walked to the Country Store with my best friend for Abba-Zabas. Wonderful memories of Carlsbad!

Carlsbad is [regularly] in my dreams… It is the Paradise I dream of. I miss it. I will watch the sunset here in Western Wisconsin and imagine I am not far from the Carlsbad beach. Yes, the sun sets in the West here too. LOL. I remember standing by the Sea Wall, watching the sunset and just as it disappeared in the horizon, the [w]orld became silent for a brief moment. Even the cars on the Coast Highway could not be heard as I taught the girls I worked with about the beauty of a sunset.

Joanne / New Jersey
Carlsbad is the place to shop the shops & experience the fine cuisine that the Southwest has to offer – it doesn’t get any better than that!

Jan / Carlsbad Transplant
Carlsbad is where I fell in love with the charm of a seaside village that had a windmill and flower fields. Moved here to get away from Los Angeles County thirty years ago and still loving it here!

Mary / Carlsbad Native
[Carlsbad] is where my heart is! …I lived [there] as a teenager and [decided to move] back … 24 years ago to raise my son… [It’s] where my best memories are! …[I bought my first wet suit at 15 from] offshore surf shop. I ordered fries [and] threw [the rest out the] window for the fish… [It’s] where we would camp under the Bamboo … to get the early morning surf! And having bonfires over the weekends, it’s where the Village was my Village… [It’s] where I shop-eat-and play! Carlsbad is my home my family and my Heart!.
