South Carlsbad State BeachIf you enjoy sleeping to the sound of the surf, the beachfront campground on the bluff at South Carlsbad State Beach is heavenly. The following short video shows the beach at sunset, with surfers waiting for that perfect wave. There is also a brief shot of the camp store and the campfire ring with benches, which overlooks the ocean. A long wooden staircase takes you down to the beach.
South Carlsbad is on the Southern California coast between Oceanside and San Diego. The sand lies below the bluffs. Up above is the state campground. There is good swimming here. You can also fish, surf and snorkel. At the campground at the top of the stairs there is a small grocery convenience store, beach rentals, restrooms and showers. The 226 campsites are on the bluff overlooking the blue Pacific. Try to get one on the ocean side. You take the stairs down to the beach below. This campground is a favorite, so you need to get your reservations well in advance for popular weekends. This is a great place to camp if you want to be near Legoland Carlsbad. To get to this fine beach, you must go south of Palomar Airport Road in Carlsbad. You can park in the day use lot, or along Carlsbad Boulevard if you are not camping. The actual address is 2680 Carlsbad Boulevard. For more info, call 800-444-7275 or
