The Travel Mom went on record on “Good Morning America” to say Carlsbad is one of the top five beach towns in America.
Carlsbad, Calif.
Carlsbad has over five miles of family-friendly beaches that offer the perfect place to cool off. Surfing lessons are abundant, as are the loads of free activities—from jazz concerts in the parks on Friday nights to hiking on the Carlsbad trail system. In addition to the ocean, visitors can play at Legoland or stay at one of my favorite places for the family—La Costa.
I’m sure she meant La Costa Resort and Spa. The term “La Costa” refers to a section in the city of Carlsbad, just like the term “Leucadia” refers to a section of the city of Encinitas.
And speaking of La Costa Resort and Spa, the Acura Classic is about to begin.
In the past, ticketless would-be spectators got free glimpses of beautiful women and their rackets by lining up along a length of chain link fencing on La Costa Avenue that overlooks the Resort and Spa.
If this year’s Fence People can bear to tear their eyes away from Serena and Svetlana, they’ll observe that right behind them is the sliding Marbella condominium complex.
Unfortunately, the people living there may lose everything they own if the condos continue to relocate to La Costa Avenue. The land is moving about an inch a day, pushing the sidewalk up in Carlsbad’s very own version of the first alien scene in War of the Worlds. (Pictures here).
