The Tamarack day use parking lot is currently closed to vehicles. The area remains open to pedestrians. Recent summer swells and high tides have eroded significant sections of Carlsbad State Beach, and additional high surf and coastal flooding is anticipated this weekend. It is unknown when the lot will reopen to vehicles. Check back for updates.
A compact beach in the middle of Carlsbad, used for swimming, surfing, diving, fishing and beachcombing. The seawall walk above it is a favourite evening stroll.
