South Carlsbad State Beach
More low-key beach, less amenities but fewer people.
The public walking and hiking trail is about 1.6 miles long. It starts just east of Interstate 5 at the end of Gabbiano Lane and goes most of the way to El Camino Real on the east end of the lagoon. There are five public parking lots providing access to the trail, one by the Nature Center and four on Batiquitos Drive.
Dogs on a leash are allowed. Horses and bicycles are not allowed.
