Carlsbad Seawall
If you want to walk the seawall, avoid the paid lot at Tamarack Beach & park on Garfield St or over at Carlsbad State Beach.
You can walk the upper wall or the lower wall. Don't miss the grassy knoll at Carlsbad State Beach to grab fish & chips at Harbor Fish. It's where the locals go to catch the sunset.
