Follow the development of Carlsbad from its founding in the 1880s to its evolution into a beloved coastal destination, on this self guided walking tour. Along the way, longtime San Diego residents Mindy and Jerry will tell you the village’s story of transformation. You’ll learn how Captain John Frazier’s discovery of mineral water remarkably similar to that of Karlsbad, Bohemia gave the town both its name and its early identity as a health retreat. Explore how the arrival of the railroad, Highway 101, and eventually Interstate 5 shaped the community and its character. The 90 minute tour starts at the Army and Navy Academy, from where you’ll weave through the heart of the village, stroll tree lined streets, past boutiques and cafés before reaching the Pacific shoreline, where seven miles of coastline have drawn visitors for generations. Whether you’re a history buff, a curious traveler, or a local looking to see Carlsbad in a new light, this tour will transport you through time.
