There are no large beach resorts in Carlsbad but there
is one hotel on the beach, vacation homes and condominium
for rent on the beach, and at least one hotel across the
street from the beach.
Beach Terrace Inn
Sits directly on the beach and has a swimming pool
right on the beach. Older hotel with large rooms
and suites.
Beachwalk Villas
Vacation units for rent that (I think) sit on a cliff above
Carlsbad Beach.
