South Carlsbad State Beach

Nice walking beach- good for surfing- beautiful sand cliffs

#LifeAtExpedia Sunset cliff Carlsbad, CA. Best place to go with a loved one and just chill.

Moonlight Beach in Carlsbad is one of my favorite SoCal beaches. Something for everyone - walks, easy surf for kiddos, more challenging breaks for others. #LifeAtExpedia

9.2/10 Wonderful! (109 reviews)

All was wonderful. Have to say that after making reservations two months in advance m, I was a bit disappointed in where we were placed. I should have said something when we check in but once I got over what I was expecting, the room location was okay but the room itself was over the top. We will go again but be a bit more vocal in our room placement. But this place comes with our strong recommendation to stay.
