Food Scene
Just a few miles away, Dini’s is one of Carlsbad’s most popular and historic restaurants, featuring delicious food, beautiful ocean views, and a lively casual bar. They have an extensive selection of food (burgers, oysters, steak, salads, pasta, fish & chips, fish, pizza, soup, etc.) and their menu is built around a unique selection of casual California coastal cuisine. I highly suggest trying their fish or chicken tacos. Amazing!

Sightseeing
For over sixty years, Mother Nature has transformed the rolling hills of north San Diego County into one of the most spectacular and coordinated displays of natural color and beauty anywhere in the world. The nearly fifty acres of Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers that make up The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch® in Carlsbad, California, are in bloom for approximately six to eight weeks each year – from early March through early May – literally bringing the famous fields back to life. This annual burst of color, which has become part of the area’s local heritage, also is one of nature’s official ways of announcing the arrival of spring here in southern California.
