Carlsbad, Coastal city in San Diego County, United States
Located 35 miles north of San Diego, Carlsbad extends along the Pacific coast with beaches, lagoons, and a Mediterranean climate at 16 meters elevation.
The discovery of mineral springs in the 1880s by John A. Frazier prompted the development of the area, named after the Bohemian spa town Karlsbad.
The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch display 50 acres of ranunculus flowers each spring, drawing visitors to experience local agricultural traditions.
The city offers direct access to Interstate 5 and maintains multiple train stations connecting to both San Diego and Los Angeles transportation networks.
Legoland California Resort operates within Carlsbad as the first Legoland park built outside Europe, featuring over 60 rides and attractions.
