For travelers flying into the largest airport in California — Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) — you’re in luck. Carlsbad is just under a two-hour drive from LAX.

Local Charm. Big-City Amenities.

Did you know some of Carlsbad’s most unique experiences come from its storied charms? With its lower population, our destination is able to easily maintain its gorgeous open spaces and provide high-end, custom team-building experiences.

Take advantage of the coastal setting on a scenic bi-plane ride, kayak a lagoon, stroll the beach or go on an off-shore excursion. Play the greens of the championship courses at Aviara and La Costa or The Crossings, which is recognized by Golf Magazine. Hike the rugged terrain around extinct volcano Mount Calavera. Appease your inner child at LEGOLAND California or the SeaLife Aquarium.
