The weather is heating up and San Diego is gaining a little more color. Let’s craft your perfect Spring San Diego activities in Carlsbad. Don’t worry, most of these are not just San Diego specific things. So use this as inspiration for things to do in your own hometown too!
Where to eat in Carlsbad
Carlsbad has small town, beach vibes and there is beautiful architecture everywhere you turn. I visited the Shorehouse Kitchen as my first stop on my spring day adventures. It featured a great menu selection, multiple options for coffee and mimosas, and great areas just outside of the restaurant for impromptu pictures. I would definitely go back here for breakfast. They had some of the best Eggs Benedict that I have ever had!
Flowering picking – San Diego spring things
It’s every spring fairy’s dream to dance around the flowers. So our next stop was the Flower Fields. There are so many areas for photos and the flowers there were unbelievable.
They offered multiple stops more “in” the fields where you could get pictures. But just be mindful that there are lines to wait in to get pictures. For every line we waited in, it was about a 20-30 minute wait. You can only spend 10 minutes max in each spot but some people were not following that rule. These spots are amongst different colored flowers so if there is only a certain color you want pictures with, then you only have to wait in the line for the flowers you want.
Entry is $27 per adult. $17 per child (age 3-10). And $25 for seniors and military.
Go to the farmer’s market
Beautiful weather was made for wandering around a local farmer’s market. And the Carlsbad Farmer’s Market is a great stop. It’s open every Wednesday starting at 2:30pm.
The farmer’s market is also just a couple blocks from the beach. Park in between the beach and the farmer’s market and you now have a perfect walk planned for yourself! Grab some goodies from the market, buy yourself a yummy snack, and go to the beach to enjoy. Honestly, it’s such a classic San Diego activity in spring.
Shop the outlets
Carlsbad Premium Outlets is a great spot to shop on a budget. Time to invest in some new clothing for all of your other spring activities in San Diego!
Pick fresh strawberries
Just a short five minute drive from the Flower Fields was our last stop of the day – the Carlsbad Strawberry Company! This place offers you the opportunity to go out into the strawberry fields to pick your own strawberries. Or just snack on them like I was. You will have to pay for your entry as well as any little bucket you buy to pick the berries. They also had a free sunflower maze which we didn’t have time to do but I would recommend getting there with enough time to do it. It’s another wonderful place for spring San Diego activities.
Overall, bring your camera for all the cute pictures or just enjoy all the sites and the smells of spring! Participating in these activities will make your time memorable.
Additional Spring San Diego Activities
If you’re looking for even more fun activities to do that aren’t San Diego specific (but still available in the San Diego area), I highly recommend looking in to a Mystery Picnic with AmazingCo. My husband and I went on one in La Jolla and it was so fun and such a fun date idea. In conclusion, there are many spring San Diego activities to enjoy.
