Southern California Beach Hotel

The Surf Motel Carlsbad is located along the one of the
nicest beaches in Southern California, about 20 miles north
of San Diego.

This classic beach hotel puts you within walking distance
(one-half block) of downtown Carlsbad-aka the “Village
by the Sea,” where boutique shops, fine dining and exciting
entertainment await you.


Southern California Destinations. Drive about 30 minutes south and you’ll arrive at the 100-acre San Diego Zoo, home to 4,000 rare and endangered animals representing more than 800 species and subspecies. In addition, there is a prominent botanical collection with more than 700,000 exotic plants.

Not far from the zoo, high on a coastal bluff overlooking La Jolla Shores Beach, you’ll discover Birch Aquarium at Scripps, the public exploration center for Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California, San Diego. Renowned for its ocean views, both inside and out, the aquarium features dazzling marine life exhibits- from sharks to seahorses to corals. [Top]
Southern California Attractions. While the surf will keep you active during your stay at the Surf Motel Carlsbad, you’ll find dozens of other Southern California attractions to keep you busy. Creativity meets fun a mere five minutes away at LEGOLAND and nature abounds just as close at Quail Botanical Gardens in nearby Encinitas (“Flower Capital of the World”).
