San Diego is one of the top vacation destinations in the US and just on the north side of San Diego county lies the city of Carlsbad. The city lies on a seven-mile stretch of pristine coast north of Encinitas and south of Oceanside. Most people know it as the perfect jumping off point to visit attractions like Legoland and Sea Life Aquarium, but those who are craving adventure teamed with a little pampering will find so much more.
