Carlsbad

South Ponto, Carlsbad, California
Rocky shores.
Nice walking beach- good for surfing- beautiful sand cliffs
#LifeAtExpedia Sunset cliff Carlsbad, CA. Best  place to go with a loved one and just chill.
Moonlight Beach in Carlsbad is one of my favorite SoCal beaches. Something for everyone - walks, easy surf for kiddos, more challenging breaks for others. #LifeAtExpedia
