Carlsbad State Beach Jetty

I like this beach jetty most love the restroom perfect design (should got rewarded) setting at small place 3 toilets! have everything you need a hand soap and a dryer and a trash can! (Other restrooms at S Carlsbad State Beach and N poto Beach no hand sanitizer soap )

The beach was perfect for watching surfers, animal /wildlife sightings and had lifeguards on duty at all times. It was beautiful here. One tip of advice get to beach early because the parking lot Is limited, and it's pay for x hours parking machine onsite. Ensure you bring everything you need with you food/shade/chairs/ice chest (there were restrooms here but no vendors).

Carlsbad State Beach Jetty, the beach with many names...aka Tamarack State Beach & Tamarack Surf Beach, has some really cool attributes, but unfortunately a couple negatives, as well. First the good stuff... 1) Primo surfing beach, as I believe the taper of the sand here, allows waves to build a bit larger than the average, & cascade & tube up, fairly close to shore. This is a bonus for a beach known by so many names, that this so-called surf photographer/ nature photographer dug. It was another hideous June gloomy day, but the pics I got here, on 6/15/23 were nice. This was my first time out of the gate, with my new camera, & the verdict is: Yeah...Bob likes it! Passing Tamarack Drive, while heading South, on Carlsbad Blvd, will be your tip-off, to begin looking for the wide paved

It's a good beach, has lots of sand crabs, parking is usually easy but it does cost 15 on weekdays and 20 on weekends. Always have lifeguards during the day!

It was a beautiful sunset watching location, and paid parking spots were simple to find... Cost (about) $15 to get an evening pass if you go closer to sunset time (and want to park in parking area, otherwise lots of free street parking, however gets filled pretty quick at evening time). Cool spot to watch evening surfers, and waves, and sunset, and all around nice nostalgic sounds. Cool spot.
