About an hours drive north of San Diego, the small beach town sometimes gets lost in the Santa Monica\u2019s and Newport\u2019s of the state, but it\u2019s not one to miss. You may know it as where Legoland is found, but there\u2019s plenty more to see than just that. The small city has that coveted beach-town vibe without the touristy feel. Here, everyone feels like a local. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For the most colorful view of Carlsbad, visit March through mid-May when <a href=\"http:\/\/www.theflowerfields.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Flower Fields at Carlsbad Ranch<\/a> are in full bloom. The 50-plus acre farmland is home to rows and rows of brightly-colored Giant Tecolote Ranunculus flowers, creating an ombre field of picture-worthy spots at every turn. While you can\u2019t freely traipse through the fields, there\u2019s many \u201ccutouts\u201d that let you get that perfect shot.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10701\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10701\" style=\"width: 750px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"wp-image-10701 size-large pk-lqip pk-lazyload\"  src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-80x53.jpg\"  alt=\"colors of carlsbad\"  width=\"750\"  height=\"500\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-750x500.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-380x253.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-80x53.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/resorts\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/06\/24215628\/T_Carlsbad-Pantone-078.jpg 1500w\" ><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10701\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Flower Fields<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To shop bouquets of the flowers and snack on some seriously delicious bites, explore the pedestrian-friendly streets of Carlsbad Village by perusing the <a href=\"https:\/\/visitcarlsbad.com\/events\/state-street-farmers-market\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">State Street Farmer\u2019s Market<\/a>.
