Le Passage

Le Passage www.lepassagefrenchbistro.net is a little restaurant just four blocks away from the Pelican Cove Inn. It has a darling little patio in the back to sit and enjoy great food and wine. They even have a little wine shop attached to the restaurant that you can select a wine from and just pay a corking fee to enjoy your selection with your meal. The little chocolate shop next door is also owned by the same people and will satisfy your sweet tooth. Good food, chololate and wine...what more could you need?

Art Splash!!!

Art Splash is coming!! This event celebrates the arts and food here in Carlsbad with all the proceeds going to help local schools. Local businesses buy squares that the volunteer artists turn into art. The above picture was done a few years ago by local artist Martin Leon. The event occurs on September 25th and 26th. Check out the Art Splash website www.carlsbadartsplash.org for more information. The event is a short drive from the Inn (less than 10 minutes) and worth the trip!

Great Mexican Food!!

What a great dining experience we had at Casa de Bandini www.bazaardelmundo.com/bandini/ ! I do wish this restaurant was within walking distance of the Inn. It is a short drive away located in the Forum shopping center in south east Carlsbad. It is owned by the same people that had Bazaar del Mundo in Old Town. Really fun, festive atmosphere. Beautiful bar area. Homemade tortillas and HUGE margaritas...YUMM!

What Beautiful Lagoons We Have!!

I just returned from taking our two dogs to the Agua Hedionda Lagoon for a walk. It is so beautiful. We are fortunate to have three lagoons here in Carlsbad for all of us to enjoy. The City has a section on their website www.carlsbadca.gov/about/visitorinfo/Pages/Lagoons.aspx that gives information about these natural wonders. Next time you are in Carlsbad, take the time to enjoy these three treasures.

The Crossings at Carlsbad

Our local golf course, the Crossings http://www.thecrossingsatcarlsbad.com/ , is a beautiful course. It is located less than 10 minutes from our bed and breakfast. As challenging as it is beautiful, it provides a great golfing experience. Come check it out!

Sunset in Carlsbad

So lovely to walk the short two blocks to the beach and watch the sunset. There is a trumpet player that often plays taps at Dini's just as the sun sets. Sometimes there is another trumpet player in the condos across the street from Dini's and he will play echo. They have it timed to play the last note as the sun slips into the Pacific ocean and disappears. It is a beautiful treat for the eyes and the ears. Gives me goosebumps every time. Then everyone cheers when it is done. Come see for yourself!
