My Face Beach Cities
There are so many, and I will be listing more, however these are a few of my favorites.
This is my favorite beach spot. I come here to chill, soak in the rays, write, & get in that oh so refreshing water! After that I walk along the little bustle off Carlsbad Village for a slice of pizza, the best in town. You won’t regret this mix of family & youth all colliding in one place. Want to go out? Lots of bars & music to be found on the 101 & State Street

About 25-30 mins away, Encinitas is a beach city I worked in as a hairstylist for 10 years. On my 10th anniversary, I ran the city’s 1st 1/2 marathon to go out with a bang.
You will absolutely enjoy this little/not so little gem of a city. Full of kitschy hipster vibes from dive bars to vegan Thai food, housemaids tortilla taco spots, & a bustling town on the 101 to tickle your fancies.

My Fave Foods in Carlsbad
Quieter than Encinitas, if you’re trying to be in the mix, but not the mayhem, Carlsbad is the place to be for another beachside goodness.
The best place for breakfast, brunch, & lunch, a very busy place on the weekend & there are no reservations. But with names like Golden Goddess and Serenity on the menu, whether it be a carefully curated latte or custom breakfast burrito, your taste buds will say y-OM!

The only place I know that can rival a New York slice & sells by the slice. They are absolutely primo and a no nonsense easy vibe right in the strip. Perfect for people watching with a quick bite.
