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
