Tourism is one of San Diego’s largest economic drivers due to the city’s climate, beautiful beaches, and numerous tourist attractions. Most people consider Downtown San Diego the cultural and financial center, as well as the central business district, of San Diego County; however, Carlsbad, “The Village by the Sea,” attracts more than 4 million visitors annually to its beautiful beaches, world class resorts, family attractions, fine dining, and upscale shopping.
Carlsbad is home to several 4-Star Resorts with more than 4,000 hotel rooms, making this coastal town the ideal area for a retreat. These elite resorts not only promote tourism, they create jobs for more than 12,380 employees. Omni La Costa Resort and Spa is home to the Southern California Open, part of the US Open Tennis Series; it has also hosted LPGA events and other world-renowned golf events. The Four Seasons was ranked as the No. 1 golf club in Southern California by Conde Nast Traveler. In addition, families from all over the world visit Carlsbad’s 5.5-acre Legoland Park, attracting approximately 15.3 million visitors in 2017.
In addition to its 7 miles of beaches, Carlsbad is also known for its three lagoons that span 1,000 acres. Agua Hedionda Lagoon, minutes from Park Place Apartments, provides excellent space for fishing, boating, wake boarding, and other water sports. The ample space and exquisite views make clear why Carlsbad is such a highly revered destination.
With close proximity to McClellan Palomar Airport, Amtrak, The Coaster, and The Sprinter transit centers, Carlsbad is perfectly situated to attract visitors to experience all that it has to offer.
