Who says a trip to a faraway destination is required to have a good time this summer? Not us. There’s plenty of fun to be had in our own backyard, and a weekend at a beachy resort can feel like you’ve been whisked away to paradise. Pack up the car and take a drive up the 5 to Carlsbad, a coastal playground for weary office-dwellers in serious need of a getaway. This itinerary will help you plan a picture-perfect weekend in North County.
First things first: where to stay. Check into the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa and get ready to be pampered. Take a dip in one of the Westin Carlsbad’s four sparkling pools, book a tailor-made massage at the luxurious Ocean Pearl Spa, or just relax in your plush guest room. Be sure to stop by in-house eatery 20|Twenty for a cocktail and fine California cuisine.
P.S. Westin Carlsbad is kid- and pet-friendly so no one has to be left out of the fun.
Next up: time to explore. North County is full of activities and attractions, so there’s surely something for everyone. If you’re a regular on the city’s greens, you’ll love the links at The Crossings. The 18-hole championship golf course features sweeping coastal vistas and options to suit all skill levels. Plus, SoCal residents get a discount on greens fees.
Kids (and kids at heart) can play to their heart’s content, plus enjoy rides, shows, and attractions at LEGOLAND California, and fashionphiles can shop till they drop at then Carlsbad Premium Outlets or go boutique-hopping in Downtown Carlsbad. Grab lunch at the Windmill Food Hall, which features San Diego favorites like Cross Street Chicken and Beer and Craft Pizza or stop by Karl Strauss Brewing Company for a cold one. For a tasty dose of nature, visit the Carlsbad Strawberry Company, and no San Diego staycation would be complete without a trip to the beach—Carlsbad has some of the prettiest around.
Before heading back to the hotel, check out the neighboring Sheraton Carlsbad Resort & Spa. Its awesome amenities, which include a pool, waterslide, and access to its restaurant, 7 Mile Kitchen, are included with your Westin reservation. After all that, you’ll be ready for some real R & R. So, it’s back to the Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa to rest up. More adventures await tomorrow.
