Shopping in Carlsbad

Posted by:

Shopping in Carlsbad offers an enticing combination of sophistication and casual atmosphere. Downtown Carlsbad Village, just blocks from the beach, will enchant you with its diverse selections of shops. The tree-lined streets are home to art galleries, garden and home shops, jewelers, fine leather and clothing stores, spas, boutiques, wine tasting shops and a Farmer's Market with every imaginable goodie. Sidewalk cafés and other sophisticated dining options all add to the continental feel of the Village.

The Village Faire Shopping Center located in the heart of the Village features New England-style architecture with a Caribbean flare. This enclave of over 33 restaurants, shops and services surrounds a pleasant fountain courtyard and is just a few blocks from the beach. 2008 will bring entertaining and fun monthly events.
