Here, you can walk directly from your home to the sand, explore tidepools, surf Carlsbad’s renowned surf break, or simply stand at the water’s edge as waves lap at your feet—all within the privacy of a beach you own to the median high tide, one of only a handful of such opportunities in all of California.
